It seems like every picture shows a different color. Is it green, light blue, gray, black?
Cheers!

Dark gree and very hefty.

It depends on the lighting.

Greenish inside and gray outside.

Dark green. The pen itself is not heftie but the silver cap sure is.

Different light shows different colors.

Kurt,

Does your avatar change daily???

Todd

For the halloween season yes, I have 30 different avatars that I am cycling through. After that it might change.

I have seen the pen in person a few times and would describe the colour of the barrel as slate gray, leaning towards dusty green. Under some lights the green tint is very strong, under others it is not there at all and the pen simply looks gray. I love this pen,but I have seen others gasp in horror! It is also quite heavy -- the cap is a massive hunk of sterling silver. Mmmmm!

You tell me, what color is this??



The image is a little dark on my monitor here at work, but to my eyes (and memory) it is a light grey with a hint of blue. The Sterling cap is one of the nicer ones in the Writers series, with that huge snowflake, but the color of the pen ruined it for me. It is really kindof drab for my tastes.

Cool, thanks for your help everyone!
Cheers!

That's the mystery because in the shop it was a green color to my eyes.

Kurt

Kurt, any chance you have color blindness issues? Not being inflammatory, but we all see colors slightly different, and as men are prone to perceptual issues when it comes to color.

Not saying that I was right either, but it never came to mind that those pens had any green in them at all. Either way, the pens aren't that attractive to me, save the cap. That cap is really nice. If it were on a different color barrel that would be a very impressive pen.

Also, non daylight balanced lighting will impart a color shift into what you are viewing. Much like setting the white balance on a digital camera, fluorescent, halogen, sodium vapor or tungsten lighting all have different wavelengths of light which vary from cool blue to warm red. Fluorescent lighting is the worst, as the light coming from the bulbs is not a constant color, there are color shifts as the bulb flickers with the 60hz power source. It may look constant to us as our brains basically average the wavelengths into a single tone of light coming from the bulbs. Take a few images in rapid sequence with a digital camera set to daylight WB and you will see what I mean.

Nope I can make the letters and numbers in all of the tests. And I commented as well as the two salespeople about the color variation under incandescent, fluorescent and natural light of the pen.


Kurt

Wow, the pens I have seen look nowhere near as dark as on the photo you posted.
I am female with no colour-blindness issues, and consider this pen to be greenish-gray...

yeah, I think that this is one that I edited on my laptop and it is a little dark. I have looked at it on three screens now and it does seem much darker than I recall the pens actually being.

Cheers,
Sean
