As the title says. I’m looking for orange ink. Not too bright, not too muted, ideally tangerine 🍊 colour but a bit dirty - imagine a tangerine tree growing next to a busy road. Available in Europe.
Diamine Peach Haze - just a bit off from the others that have been suggested, somewhat muted but still bright enough to be “orange”.
These are the oranges I’ve had experience with:
Diamine Blaze Orange (my first & probably favourite) is likely too strong, it leans towards orangered, and Pennonia Róka Koma is almost identical to it. Diamine Pumpkin Shimmer is maybe a touch paler with a gold shimmer. Diamine Deep Dark Orange is a more subdued dark orange & is a fantastic ink. Diamine Peach Punch (Inkvent '21) is an orangey-peach. Diamine Wonderland (Inkvent '21) is a bright yellow-orange. And lastly, Diamine Flame (Inkvent '22) is a good mid orange, and it smells of matches! I haven’t had any signs of nib crud from these inks, but YMMV.
As @UnfortunateTwist@beehaw.org mentioned, the Mountain of Ink blog is the best place to go to get a good idea of how different inks look and perform.
I have several pens inked with orange ink so I took a moment to do a sample of them together.
I don’t know why but I cannot open your link. On the app (I use Memmy for Lemmy) it takes me to a blank screen and on my computer the link is not a link !

My favorite resource for comparing different shades of a color! Hopefully you can narrow down what you’re looking for.
I use Diamine Pumpkin:
@cedled @Korvmedbrod It doesn’t evaporate and form ink crud on the nib? A few Diamine orange colors do that. But dipping the nib in water reconstitutes the ink and washes it off.
Most of my inks are Diamine and none of them does that. But I don’t have any oranges (except for Sailor’s Warning which is not really orange)
@Korvmedbrod I have many Diamine inks (except oranges), but this drying out ink crud phenomenon has been observed with just the oranges.
