2024 Hobonichi Planner Idea
Color Matching Inks!
Lisa suggests three inks to match the
colored monthly sections in your Hobonichi planner!
Hey Everyone, if you color match your ink to your fountain pen, or your pen to your journal, or anything along those lines, why not try this? I do confess that I try to color match my ink to my fountain pen, and I do try to match my ink/fountain pen to my planner or journal as well. It seems to ease possible confusion or decision fatigue, because I know exactly what I will see on the page.
For 2024, what if you try color-matching your ink to the colored monthly sections in your Hobonichi planner??? Imagine the possibilities!
In the 2024 A5 Cousin and A5 Hon, these are the section colors of the monthly tabs with my fountain pen ink suggestions:
