Sakura Gelly Roll Pens

[havocthecat]

I was gifted a blank book with black paper and I want to get some Sakura gelly roll pens to write in it with.

The problem? I don't know much about those pens. There seem to be a lot of different types. What would be the best ones for black paper?

Metallic? Moonlight? Just the regular ones?

Fellow pen folks, help me!

Jetpens has a nice graphic of what the different types do on dark paper in one of their examples (the fifth one in): https://www.jetpens.com/Sakura-Gelly-Roll-Moonlight-Gel-Pen-1.0-mm-10-Color-Set/pd/2354 I assume that they're only showing the ones on dark paper that work halfway decently?

Agreed, I go and visit the JetPens reference image sometimes for help! Re: original q, the regular pens won't be very legible on dark paper, and even the metallic ones won't have the same "pop" in clarity that the Moonlight line does. Metallic is legible, but the colors kind of fade out, IME.

That's the one I'm staring at too. I am vindicated in my instinct that pastels seem pretty good and Stardust Clear Star should be used with a friend

Ooh, that's super useful! And so pretty!
