I paired up a new TWSBI ECO Glow Purple and Rohrer & Klingner Salix. It's the first (and maybe only) iron gall ink I've tried and I figured a color changing ink would pair well with a color changing pen.

It's really nice, but I'm not sure it's worth the potential dangers. I'll definitely use this one, though.

Microscope pics and video of it drying and changing colors here:

Photo of a fountain pen and writing sample on paper. The paper has a 5mm grid of light gray dots. The writing sample reads "TWSBI ECO Glow Purple 1.1 Stub" and "R&K Salix" The pen is a TWSBI ECO Glow Purple. The cap is slightly transparent purple plastic with a silver band at its base and silver clip. There is dark blue ink visible in the body of the pen, and the pen's piston mechanism is visible through the clear body as well. The tail end of the pen is the same slightly transparent purple plastic as the cap.
