Colors To Al Star & Safari 2017

[kapanak]

I suppose most people already knew the Terracotta Safari had been done, yes? I doubt they'll re-issue it Maybe a shade lighter more Saffron hinting towards Orange? Something between the two below, but please more matte colours.

I'd like to see a matte finished, white safari with black clip and black nib

I believe this also existed in some form already. The super rare textured matte Safari Alpin with the black furniture as you described.

Chocolate was made last year as a co-branding item with the clips ornaments.

 

It might be possible that that same chocolate color might become standard production with a chocolate brown ink.

 

I would like to see the teal that was a previous production become standard, I also would like to see a very light cool pink, like baby pink and the baby blue that was used with the red clip as a limited edition a long time ago.

 

I would love it if the Al-Star had light, pastel pearlized colors like warm blush pink, light pink, light blue, light purple to give the same feeling as the teal green Al-Star

 

More and more people are journaling, having nice looking writing instruments with matching journals would be a welcomed addition.

I'm a sucker for dark, intense colors... an AL-Star with a really dark green, burgundy, or navy blue color, with black nib/clip, would definitely get me.

How about a pale yellow-green in a matte finish with black furnishings or an all white pearlescent with a matte palladium trim. Personally, I still like the niobium or palladium idea for the Al-Star. It would probably cost to much to manufacture however.

One of the recurring requests here is black furnishings and matte texture. I think there is simply too little matte texture Safari ... In fact, there is only one regularly available colour, the Charcoal Black.

I'm not so sure a baby-vomit-yellow would be a very big seller, no matter how you try to dress up the name. :-/

 

 

But I love the black furniture.

Well that is a lovely word picture! LOL! But actually, I had a subtle soft chartreuse in mind since Lamy seems to be on a "green" kick the last few years. But, who knows, with a name like "Baby Puke", young people might buy it.

Whatever it is make it MATTE...

 

I'd like to see a matte cobalt, black finishing....or a matte metallic (oxymoron, maybe? Idk, but I can see it in my head, lol), preferably silver with brushed steel clip

Ditto for the matte cobalt, black clip and nib for the Safari. For the Al-Star, I'd like a nice Merlot. And forget the matching ink, just get a matching wine.

I ended up discarding my matte charcoal Safari. I found the texture abrasive on the supporting middle finger when writing with the pen. I'm not saying it rubbed the skin raw, but when I compared the matte Safari to a smooth Safari, the matte was tangibly less comfortable to use because of its texture. Fix that issue (a satin finish section underside perhaps) and I could be convinced to try another matte Safari.

I want them to reissue the red al-star! I need a red al-star!!!!!!

 

Me, too!

[IrishEyes]

I'd love to see something that looks like a peacock in the sun on an Al Star (I like the colors of many Safaris, but not the plastic they're made with). You know, like the blue/green/purple of Chameleon paint for cars? Something that changes with the angle you're looking at it from.

Tinted Vistas - like maybe a lightly tinted greenish/blue (think old Coke bottle). Or deeper green and brown colors (beer bottles :-)

[TTracy]

Brown. I like brown--expresso, coffee .... dark brown

What About the muddy green with Navy Blue clip ...

I recently picked up a Lamy on Amazon that is the fine nib. Matte black, all black furniture. I didn't realize they had interchangeable nibs, so I ordered a 2nd one in a medium.

 

I have the medium at work, I enjoy the way it feels and writes. I have the Lamy black cartridge in it; plan on rinsing and changing to a different color once it runs out. The fine tipped one I have the Lamy blue cartridge in. I rather enjoy this one as well, the blue is nicely colored and covers well.

[Misfit]

I'm also thinking green for the Al-Star. A basic green like the ocean blue and special edition Ruby red.

 

A light purple Safari perhaps.

I have the matte Black and the matte Dark Lilac. Love them and use them more than any of my Al-Stars. I also use cartridges like you do and simply use an ink syringe to refill them. One is inked with Lamy Dark Lilac and the other with Montblanc Toffee Brown. Great pens. For some reason I use them more often than any of my more expensive GvFC, Montblanc, Sheaffer, or Visconti pens. Edited November 9, 2016 by 888007888
