Lime Green Safari - which Ink !

[English John]

I am on a Safari binge at the moment, and a lime green one arrived today ! (you can still find them...)

 

But what ink should I use ?

 

All those colour co-ordinators out there , please advise

 

I am up for either matching or contrasting!!

 

All suggestions welcome

I suggest any green but nothing that isn't green. It almost made me feel ill watching Turquoise coming out from this pen!

[macthemaths]

p.s. I'm quite enjoying Lamy Green carts in this pen at the moment.

I prefer to contrast...I think green and purple are great together so I'm using either Noodler's Purple Martin, Wampum or MB's Violet when I fill up. Cheers!

One of the guys in our club uses Herbin vert olive in his.

[GeeTee]

How about CdA Amazon green.

Diamine Imperial Purple! I love the contrast.

If you like PR Sea Foam Green, I don't particularly, and I have a basically full bottle I can send your way if you like.

I always found the combination of lime green with navy to be pleasing. A nice deep blue or blue-black may contrast well with the bright green of the pen. I think the Visconti blue looks good with the lime Lamy.

 

Or you could go with a watermelon look and pick a bright pink ink (Herbin's Rose Cyclamen, perhaps?).

I have a load of Noodler's Green in my Lime Safari at the moment. However, it's not quite the right shade of green and disrupts my sensibilities somewhat.

What about Herbin Vert Pre? Nice bright bouncy green.

[chefz]

I second (or third or fourth or whatever) the purple inks in my Lime Safari! I alternate between a favorite purple or Borealis Black, which seems to write perfectly with my EF nib.

Diamine Jade Green is a bright green on the yellow side.

If you wanted it to match the pen even more, add some yellow ink

to the green ink.

+1 — A good combination

[Gehaha]

Caran d'Ache Amazon - nice color, but expensive.

[matje]

go for contrast! my rec would be a bold pure red, like R&K Morinda, but I'm sure R&K Magenta would look cool too.

[Jimmy James]

I'd think Diamine Kelly Green would be about right.

[MiniMaupassant]

I'd think Diamine Kelly Green would be about right.

 

Me too!

Me too!

 

Thirded!

 

It was a bit too bright for me to take to, but it should go well with a Lime Green Safari.

Diamine Emerald. A lovely, gentle hue that I've come to appreciate over time.
