I missed something.

 

What is the difference between this "Yellow" and the old "Yellow?"

I think the clip is chrome versus painted ones. And the colors vary very slightly. It was a recent thread about these changes.

Alohagain....

 

They vary heavily.

 

The old one looks like a bright yellow ochre, the new one with chromium clip and nib looks more like a clear printer's yellow as one of the 4 basic colours from the CMYK System

 

It is VERY bright, for my taste, and alsmost stings in the eye, like a flower or an insect warning "I am poisonous, do not touch me", elseway these bright colours never show up in nature.

Blue and Red remained the same, they just "seem" a little lighter (a trick of the eye due to a shiny clip). But yellow changed, at least for my tastes, heavily.

This yellow is awesome! It's like Mandarin Yellow

It's the wrong shade of yellow, it ought to be much darker. For that reason I shall not be purchasing one.

I think Lamy screwed up by using those shiny clips with some colours. The black sets them off much better. Even the new yellow would look better with a black clip.

 

To get really yukky you could buy a bunch and swap the caps around.

It's worth asking. One place I know had been delivering the new yellow since New Year, but another in Paris still had one in deep yellow. "Had": it's in the post to yrs trly.

I shall have a look, I rather like the darker yellow colour with black nib and clip.

there is a new fresher yellow with black clip on the market.

that may be a transitional version towards the fresher yellow with chrome clip.
