The Lemon colour

Lemon is a sunny, cheerful yellow. Because it is opaque, it stays bright even on kraft or black paper, where ordinary yellow inks would disappear.

Made for dip pens only

Dipton inks are richly pigmented and creamy, which is what makes Lemon so opaque. That same body means Lemon must not be used in fountain pens. Use Lemon with dip pens, glass pens or brushes, and rinse your nib with water after use.

Tips for using Lemon

Stir or gently shake the Lemon bottle before use, as pigment can settle. Layer Lemon for deeper colour, and let it dry fully before touching the page. Lemon looks especially striking on dark and black paper.
