I took a chance on Monaco Red for silly reasons and I was impressed by how much it satisfies my red ink needs.

It’s a great red

I'm just considering my favourites from Diamine: "Tobacco Sunburst" a gorgeous warm shading brown, "Elf" - a quick drying dark green, "Beau Blue" intense and bright, "Silver Fox" a great shading graphite grey. "Syrah" - a wine-stain red/pink/purple.

Great picks! You got me interested in Kensington blue. I've been using Monaco Red to grade tests for about a year and a half now and I love it! Vibrant but not silly, perfect for a more formal context. Since I use it for grading, I've tested it on all kinds of cheap and semi-cheap paper (the one you use in school) and it performs very well thanks to a relatively fast drying time, with only minor feathering on some copy paper - which is to be expected from most FP inks.

Where is the your recommended place to buy a few diamine inks in the USA? Direct from the UK?

Good choices, Mick. What about Ancient Copper. I have three of your choices. What I like about Diamine inks is the large capacity and very affordable.

So many great Diamine inks… it was hard to limit it to 5. Ancient Copper is up there… but the crudding I have had from it on a number of pens stops me using it with out reservation.

Earl Grey is one of my favourites

It’s a super beautiful ink

I only have 3 Diamine inks at the moment - Crimson, Oxblood, and Regency Blue. I do have in a shopping cart Imperial Purple but I cannot decide on this or Robert Oster Deep Purple.

I own a bottle of Imperial Purple. It can stain some pens, which is somewhat common with purples. Regarding the shade, I prefer Diamine Raise a Glass.

Diamine has SO many good colours. I have no idea how you got to five!

I just basically picked the five I use most. I’m a creature of habit, and when I love something I just latch on.

Unfortunately I don’t like blue, black or red ink.
