Paper & pairing
Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors: legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About Winsor & Newton
Winsor & Newton is a British fine-art materials manufacturer founded in London in 1832 by William Winsor and Henry Newton. It produces watercolors, oils, acrylics, brushes and papers as well as drawing and calligraphy inks, and is today a subsidiary of ColArt, ultimately owned by Sweden's Lindéngruppen.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight: most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
