I like different colour inks as well. My father, a banker with the
Eastern Bank and the Chartered Bank, used to carry a stock of ink
around the world with him, all unmarked ink bottles, all turquoise.
I don't do turquoise, but I do like the Parker antique inks. I have
Sapphire in my father's old Parker 75, the Ruby in a Mont Blanc given
to me by a chaplain (who won it in a raffle and felt embarrassed to
keep it) and the Mocha in a cheap but lovely old Rotring pen (an
excellent writer). My Cross has plain old black Cross ink in it and
I use it for my pilot's log book.
Olympus content: none. But then nor is there anything about Epson,
Nikon, Canon or Pentax either ... :-)

20" screen and no dead pixels).
