It is officially described as an orange leaning to yellow ochre. On my swatches it reads browner and less orange than that. Think toffee or tawny tan rather than orange, and it deepens to milk-chocolate brown where the ink pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong.

In the tale, a tiger spirit disguises herself as a kindly aunt and visits at night, pretending to care for children but eating the ones who won't go to sleep. It is essentially a story adults told to get children into bed. The box art shows the famous ending, where a child up a tree pours a pot over the tiger. Lennon Tool Bar was founded in 2014 in Tamsui, Taiwan, and began by reviving the island's traditional indigo-dyeing craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a collector and I'm always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lennon Tool Bar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266210668870,"sku":"INK-005","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/LennonToolBar-AuntTiger3.jpg?v=1789844834","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/lennon-tool-bar-all-kind-of-spirits-vol-1-aunt-tiger","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
