Colour of all sorts have followed me during my professional era.
One long period I even dived into the vast pool of black, in the shape
of Japanese and Chinese ink sticks.
Japanese ink stick from 1981. Since it was of “better quality”, it was accompanied by a swatch, showing how this particular ink looks in three grades of dilution.
Have fun!

I had no idea what an ink stick was; thanks to this post and Wikipedia, I’ve learned yet another new thing — I’ve added to my 'interesting things learned on pixls.us that aren’t typically photography-related (along with my recently acquired knowledge of the daily lives of scrub jays, how to tie different kinds of knots, and how boomerangs work).
Very interesting. Thanks, @Claes!
