Clip color?

 

Good point Pay be a toffee brown that might look good.

No, that's not the 2014 annual colour. Pink was the annual colour for 2009 which was re-introduced for a period in 2010 due to demand. A revised pink Safari (black cap end, not pink like the original) was launched in some export markets last year but as of this month (January 2014) it is now a standard catalogue colour.

That looks like the 2013 pink special with black x cap

Are the current Neon Yellow and Pink ones going to be discontinued when the new one is announced?

I just received an email from The Coln Gallery... and apparently the new Safari is pink. The email calls it 2014 pink.

 

Which I find exceedingly puzzling.

Not related to Coln gallery in any way...

This is the only 2014 link/picture on entire world wide web!

People were crying out for a purple one ... I better go and get me another neon yellow before they sell out!

Assuming (and hoping) that they are keeping the LE colour a big secret and there is an awesome LE colour soon to be announced

No it isn't, and just to reiterate: pink is not the 2014 annual colour.

Neon Yellow was the annual colour for 2013 so is now discontinued*. Therefore, any pens you see still available for sale will only be available while stocks last.

 

The current pink Safari (see link1 & link2) was launched in some export markets last year (2013) but is now in the current (printed) catalogue so it can no longer be considered a "special" anything.

 

* models released as annual colours (aka special editions) do sometimes come back into production.

 

HTH,

Ach, Burns Night - should be tartan then, do ye ken? Or, slightly more disturbingly, haggis-coloured...

 

Cheers, Al

Aye, an' it'll have a little armadillo charm hanging off the clip.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

I like the idea of brown tones, as well as purple. I expect Pantone's color of the year announcement comes later than Lamy production. But if you go by Pantone and color of the year 2014 Wild Orchid, then purple-like tones would have the nod. But timing and all....

 

I'm happy I got an aquamarine Safari on eBay from Japan, but the color was not what I expected. I took a photo, and got the lighter color that was shown on the web. But it's a darker color that photos show.

 

Brown, purple or cream would be great, as would a nod to the orange and green of early Safaris. Those look so awesome cool.

The Paperworld show started tomorrow. Anyone on FPN attending it? If so could you please tell us about the new color?

[Sailor Kenshin]

I'd be hoping for something matte and subdued. Adobe, sage, cappuccino....

[syye]

Yes, someone please keep us updated!

[Mesu]

Any news on the color yet??

[Anne-Sophie]

I'd be hoping for something matte and subdued. Adobe, sage, cappuccino....

 

On Lamy's Germany website (they translated it in English for the international fans), the Safari and the All Star are listed under young writing.

 

The All Star has the more subdued and sophisticated colors like purple and pearl.

 

Still can't wait for the new color! So much so that I realized that I wrote "started tomorrow" instead of yesterday, when I posted about the Paperworld show.

[a m a r g o]

Don't know about the color, but Lamy, please bring back black clips and nibs!!!

 

[Bilko262]

Lots of colours are available, but if they ever produced a "Rainbow Spectrum" set of say 9 or 13 pens, I'd be happier!
