Here's a fun multi-shader: Ink Institute Meander Electric Blue Spider Lily. It's a bit light on the page for small nibs but I'll have to try it in a stub like a TWSBI or a flex nib pen and see what happens. You can really see the multi-shading between blue and pink in some of the letters that had more ink after dipping the pen. I'll almost certainly need to get a full bottle of this one, even if it is a bit more pastel than I prefer.

On the left, inside the line drawing is a blob of ink which is light blue in places with less ink, and in places with more ink it's pink with dark blue edges. On the right is text reading "Ink Institute Meander Electric Blue Spider Lily" with an X and a curlicue underneath. The text is light, but legible. Some letters are darker and in those letters the edges are darker blue and the center is pink.

@jimp reminds me a bit of Sailor Mayo Haha, which was just a tad too light for me to really love even though the multi shades were so pretty. But now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if I should try it on the Iroful paper because I bet it'll look better on white than ivory.

@terri The swatch card with the paint pallet is Iroful and it did nicely there. It's still a bit light but this is with a dip pen. I really want to try it in a higher-flow stub nib to see if it comes out darker, but all of mine are inked with things I don't want to dump and none are nearly empty.

(And I'm trying _not_ to buy even more, and yet...)
