From the photos it looks a distinctly different yellow from the regular one. Some of our road signs are a similar yellow but they glow in the dark.
I wonder if this does too ?
I noticed they have
Body Material: Neon yellow resin
Is this going to be any different from the regular ABS plastic Lamy make their usual Safaris from ?

Im getting a little tired of the light colors that have been coming out. I need a deep blue or an all black stealth or a red black combo pen.

The Charcoal Safari is fairly stealthy. And in some lights it could be confused with an Al-Star too.

I don't know what sort of philosophy Lamy has behind its Safari & Al-Star colour choices recently but I really would like to see a dark green or purple Safari in the near future.

I would also like a purple, would be something different!

Agreed.Purple might be the only thing that would tempt me now that I have 7 Safaris

I want them to bring back the orange. Or even a neon orange in keeping with their current trend. I want an orange one bad, but I can't bring myself to pay what they are going for on Ebay.

I'd also like to see some "colored" Vistas. Some with transparent blues, greens, oranges, or whatever.

**Bogon07** · February 15th, 2013, 11:21 PM

A new Rhodia Orange would be handy for coordinating your stationary as the last one was a couple of shades too dark although it matches the orange band on Whitelines covers.
I can think of three versions of the Orange Safari: "Flame" orange with red clip
Orange with a cross on the cap
Orange with an orange cap dot (a re-release was available in Asia late 2011)

It is a wonder Lamy has not produced any coloured Vistas todate. A smokey grey similar to the Al-Star section would be a handsome and business like pen.

I wonder if tinted vistas might not look a bit cheap... I often find coloured transparent plastic looks rather brittle and flimsy. Also, it might make the regular Vista stand out less.

I don't know. Think about all the colored TWSBIs out there. I have a Pilot Custom Heritage 92 in blue transparent that I absolutely love.

Plastic, as with many materials, comes in many grades. I am not an engineer, but I doubt Lamy would have a problem sourcing and using quality plastics.

This "booger" green pen is on auction at ebay and with three days to go, it's already at $640. I love the color but $640?!?!

Whaaaa $640 for a Safari. I like them but not that much. For that sort of price I'd buy a couple of regular ones and experiment with some spray cans.

About a year or so ago, I saw one selling for $200. I already found that over the top.

But I do wish Lamy would bring back this color.

Life is too short to waste money on butt-ugly pens. I swear, there must be a hallway full of designers, muttering "We must find a new butt-ugly color!"

I don't know how to translate "butt-ugly" into German.
