A clear acrylic drawer pulled out enough to show the tops of two rows of sample vials. The sample vials have sticker dots on the caps, with a touch of the color in the vial. The vial labels are turned out but still difficult to read due to the curve of the vial. They are sitting in a dark purple tray and a lime green tray.

October Daily Samples, Pennonia, Review

Pennonia Inks! I found this page on how to pronounce the inks names and I was incredibly entertained. 😂 This brand has raaaange heck.

A notebook page with the names of the inks listed in order from 1-31. Each ink name is written once in a purple color and then a second time in that days color of ink. List of ink names is in the rest of this article.
Heckin messed up the 11th haha look at that mess! At least it was with two pretty colors.

Now, I couldn’t figure out a way to really group these, so we’re just going to look at 10ish at a time. There are darks, lights, saturated, chromatic, pretty much everything but shimmer. And! This was one of those inks with a small enough library (at the time I was looking) that I could finish out almost the entire thing in one month! I have one more which I’ll try in my November set of Daily Samples. Let’s take a look! It was a little strange having so many pastel type shades at the beginning of a spoop month haha.

10 ink sample cards stacked on top of one another, so only the top of the card with the color swatch on it is visible on all of the cards except the bottom one. The bottom cards says “Pennonia 010 Selyempezsgo xxxooossssss 22OctVent-10 standard”
Pennonia 001 – 010!

001 Orgona Lilac – Another blue lilac, multi chromatic, but on the light side. Reminds me of fairy wings.

002 Balaton Kek – Multi-chromatic blues, faintest hint of lavender.

003 Ragu Bubblegum – Very light peach, soft and pretty.

004 Danuvius Danube – Light blue, with some pink shading, another multi-chromatic!

005 Zuzmo Lichen – Soft green, fresh looking, orange shadinf which doesn’t muddy it – unusual! And the last of the multi-chromatics for a while.

006 Abigel – Oh heck a hot pink! And readable!

007 Kekek Kekje – I like this blue, medium dark, jewel tone, performs really well.

008 Patina – Light teal, fairly readable, reminds me of a copper patina. Without the copper.

009 Gyermeklancfu – Burnt orange yellow.

010 Selyempezsgo – Pale peach, reminds me of tea! I like tea.

10 ink sample cards stacked on top of one another, so only the top of the card with the color swatch on it is visible on all of the cards except the bottom one. The bottom cards says “Pennonia 020 Ordogi Voros Devil Red xxxooossssss 22OctVent-20 standard”
Pennonia 011 – 020!

011 Fekete Sas – Blue black, fun to write with, not a fun color tho. 

012 Almazold Apple Green – Nice dark green, darker medium green.

013 Csillant Nettle – Reminds me of that first Granny’s Apple green apple of the summer – did that make sense? It makes sense. Ahem.

014 Dungo – Butter yellow, no! Egg yolk yellow.

015 Hupikek Whoopie Blue – Brigth blue, pool/beach blue.

016 Kekfesto – Nice standard dark blue, light blue is nice too.

017 Lila Arnyek Purple – Not one bit of purple in this ink, disappointed. However this dark blue ink is fun to write with, very well behaved and controlled. (But no purple, grumble grumble grumble.)

018 Meggyes Sour Cherry – Reminds me of cherry juice, not maraschino, like the bourbon soaked cherries we get sometimes.

019 Meregzold – Teal! Good teal.

020 Ordogi Volos Devil Red – Bright lipstick red. More pink than devil red.

11 ink sample cards stacked on top of one another, so only the top of the card with the color swatch on it is visible on all of the cards except the bottom one. The bottom cards says “Pennonia 031 Godenyzold Pelikan xxxooossssss 22OctVent-31 standard”
Pennonia 021 – 031!

021 Roka Koma Fox Friend – Bright orange, with a red base that grounds it nicely.

022 Tihanyi Lila – Reminds me of the ink I have called Nightshade but a touch more purple. Shading inks are really interesting.

023 Torokkek Turkish Blue – Sheeny blue, purple sheen, dense lighter blue, with some aquamarine. Complicated ink!

024 Vattacukor – Dark pink. Rose pink, has a flower petal softness to it.

025 Viharfelho – Dark grey when wet, fades to a medium grey when dry.

026 Kekfeny – Medium blue, red sheen = purple! Yay purple.

027 Mustvoros Young Wine – Reddish orangeish/brownish tones?

028 Gesztenyebarna Chestnut – Maybe not a chestnut brown, exactly, but definitely brown.

029 Rezvoros Copper – Pastel, peach color – might be chromatic?

030 Zoldike – Grass green, yellow/tan undertones.

031 Godenyzold Pelikan  – ooo caught the sheen! Dark green/teal, hint of reddish sheen.

Whew! Quite the month. I do miss shimmers tho!

A notebook planner page that has a line of ink for each day of the month. “Pennonia” is written at the top.
All of my Pennonia colors!

I’ve got another set of solid standard inks in my collection. Two months in a row of no shimmer is tough tho, so looking forward to next month’s samples! Altho those chromatics were fun. These were nice and low maintenance. Which I hilariously appreciate.
