    Default New 2017 Lamy Colors

    I just saw this over at the other place:

    http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...ors-announced/

    I knew about the Al-Star being Pacific Blue (pretty color), but I really like the choice for the Safari. I like both, but I'll want that Safari particularly.

    I quite the colour of the Safari not enough to buy the pen however would buy an ink in that shade without hesitation. Hopefully this year they might sell the respective bottled ink in the UK.

    Yeah! They look nice. That blue Al-star should pair nicely with my Lamy Turquoise ink, and if that Safari gets lauched along a same color bottle of ink, I would very much like to buy it too. Too bad I don't see many LE Lamy's here in Brazil...

    They are doing Pacific Blue ink that matches the Al-Star, La Couronne announced it the other day. Do they normally do more than one? I'm not personally a big Lamy fan so I don't really pay much attention to their LE stuff.

    Fontoplumo ( Netherlands) is a great little online shop( as well as brick and mortar but I frequent the online one due to distance ) which usually has both the inks and the Color of the Year pens , and the shipping costs are pretty reasonable.
    Not that I'm trying to be an ink buying enabler or something

    Wow, having seen only the Al Star I thought its one of their prettiest colors so far but that Safari is just gorgeous!
    Both as ink and as pen colors.

    And here I was thinking Dark Lilac + two more Lamys are enough...

    Already added the Al-Star to my cart at La Couronne du Comt, but will probably remove it and add it again and again over the next couple of months as I play with my shopping cart.

    I'll be able to resist the AL-star and Pacific Blue ink. Doubt I'll resist the Safari.

    No. In the past some Lamy LE pens have come with a standard colour Lamy ink.

    So probably the "petrol" safari won't come with matching ink?

    Definitely not interested in the pens, but think either of the two colors would make a great ink, especially the Petrol.

    Indeed! I especially like the petrol colour - I had a bomber jacket the same colour as a kid, and we had many a frequent heated debate over what colour it was, blue or green!

    I have not heard anything... but I would venture a guess that "Petrol" could be an ink color in 2017!

    Don't buy the matching "LE" Pacific Blue ink if you expect a limited edition colour. It has been confirmed by several retailers, including CultPens in the UK, that Pacific Blue is repackaged Turquoise from the Lamy standard line.
