Lamy Neon Yellow Safari & Ink Pairing?

[Lovely_Pen]

I just purchased a Lamy Neon Yellow Safari and I'm looking for ink suggestions. What colour ink have you (or would you) pair with the bright neon yellow body?

 

I should specify that I'll be using the pen at college and would like to use it for marginal notes and underlining in one of my manuals...so the colour should be legible but maybe not overpowering??

 

What are your inky thoughts?

Yellow is complementary to purple, so I think a nice bright purple ink would really team up perfectly with that pen! So perhaps Waterman Tender Purple, R&K Cassia or Diamine Imperial Purple (these are the 3 I've tried so far in that range).

 

Or, if you stuck a 1.9mm italic nib to the pen, you could pair it with a bright yellow highlighting ink, like Noodler's Firefly/Year of the Golden Pig (and you'd have that glowy yellow sort of vibe with both the pen and the ink)

Hello LP,

 

I have also found that greens look nice as well, even though now mine is loaded with Waterman South Seas Blue.

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

Diamine Ultra Green: complements the pen colour perfectly and, with a Lamy EF nib, is perfect for marginal notes - they stand out without blowing your vision out.

Many lovely options. Mine is filled with Diamine Sherwood Green.

Black, blue black, sherwood green, maybe even apache sunset. serenity blue lots of options.

I have Aurora Black in mine.

Noodler's Hunter went pretty well with mine. Rohrer & Klinger Alt Goldgrun would be a pretty nice color too that is a bit more subdued.

I have paired mine with Stormy grey

Right now I like Diamine Meadow in it, but if I feel like confusing myself I will load it with Lamy Coral.

Another ink I like in it is Diamine Soft Mint - the aqua & yellow combination is pleasing to my eye.

That looks like a pretty cool color ink.

Great stuff!

Soft mint goes well with Bluegreen Al-Star

Hi,

 

For a combination of a hue that suits the pen and its intended purpose, I'll suggest Noodler's № 41 Brown. Though I personally prefer Browns with less Yellow / Burnt Orange, N41 might suit your taste.

 

Or keep to the more 'pure' hues, such as Diamine Deep Magenta.

I have the same pen, but with the 1.5 mm Italic nib. Very smooth writer.

 

I have it filled with Apache Sunset. This has seemed a little on the dry side so I might go to a total opposite and try it with Black Swan in Australian Roses. Of course that's after it does its Christmas job of writing personal notes in about 50 cards using Red Dragon.

 

One thing about the pen...it's always REALLY easy to find on my desk! lol

Many lovely options. Mine is filled with Diamine Sherwood Green.

 

Snap! They really suit each other, I reckon.

Edelstein Mandarin...

[maverick777]

Mine is filled with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki and it makes an awesome combo.

I'm not sure how one goes about rating the compatibility of an ink with a pen but I just got the same exact pen and here's what I've tossed in it... Diamine - Ochre

 

It just happened to be the first of my samples I decided to try. No rhyme or reason but I do like the color. It's not flashy and could certainly be used as an "every day use" type of ink.

[ink-syringe]

what color do you want your writing to be?

I put Pelikan highlighter ink in mine. It rocks!
