In food little video comparison of copper Orange and bronze...

It was evening capture..

 

Basically the bronze ink is more orange and light whereas the copper Orange is more rusty reddish and dark

Thank you for sharing this comparison; I have the ink preordered & have been wondering what it might look like!

Thanks also for that video link, that definitely killed my lem for the bronze ink!

Ah looks like the fontoplumo ink swab is correct then. Unfortunately (or fortunately) now I don't have to be interested in getting a full bottle. I really thought it'd be more toward actual bronze color.

I think the cartridge will do best

Will work best in broad nibs... Also I was thinking it's better to keep novelty sometimes

I am glad that helped

For all those who can order in the German Lamy Online Shop, good news!

 

The bronze is available for order! You find it among the other AL-Stars. No announcement on the start page so far.

 

AND: The ink is also available in bottles! Ink bottles for se Fatherland!

I love the Lamy special edition orange pen and ink. Won't go for this pen, too close in color. May get the ink as the first was limited edition and no longer available.

It has arrived. As I suspected - it looks like polished bronze.

Seems to be quite a strange color, in some photos it looks very orange, in others... not so much.

 

Have you tried the ink yet? Is it worth buying?

"strange color"?

 

It looks exactly as I would expect bronze to look.

[Intensity]

I think the comment about "strange color" is referring to the fact that the photograph shows a much more gold-yellow color with a hint of green compared to the promotional photographs that show a murky orange color.

 

e.g. this picture from GouletPens:

Here is a quick comparison. The promo pics are all quite off.

Not yet. I will wait till my current pen is emptied.

Thanks for the comparison to the copper orange! I also will patiently look forward to seeing the ink on paper.

Yes, this is pretty much what I meant . It's not only the promo shots that have shown a color more similar to Copper Orange, though. Lots of color variety in the photos I've seen so far

That's a good comparison! Thank you.

I think of bronze as being more brown than any image I've seen so far of either pen or ink. Every photo seems to show the pen and ink as being too orange or too yellow to match my expectation for "bronze". Which is too bad, because I'd like an Al-Star in what I think of as bronze colour.

Well, I think I can pass on this one. Looks kinda like the metal Jinhao 599 someone gave me a couple of years ago.

Perhaps you could get a piece of bronze as a color standard.

Thanks for the comparison photo because in your first pic it was looking more gold than bronze on my screen. I am still very undecided on this one.
