I received some new (to me) inks for Robert Oster recently. Some have been around for a few months now and some are relatively new and I felt that six of them made for a pretty nice palette of colours. They were all somewhat pastel-like and soft. From left to right there is Vitstyle Red Bear (an exclusive ink to Hong Kong based store Vitstyle), Tangerine, Hippo Purple (an ink made for squishy ink's Kickstarter for her Hippo Noto notebook), Plumb Nut, Australian Opal Mauve, and Cherry Blossom. I hope to do more palette's later down the road.
