Now I’m confused (plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose)…

 

I have two pens that could be considered to be ‘appropriate’ for this thread - but both might equally be considered to be inappropriate.

 

One is an aerometric Parker “51” in ‘Navy Grey’.

This is a grey-ish colour that I perceive as being far more ‘green’ than is the paint on His Majesty’s Ships.

 

The other is a Lamy Safari in ‘Petrol’.

Is it green? Is it blue? Or is it neither the one nor t’other? 🤷‍♂️

 

If you are referring to the photo of my Sheaffer that looks almost a teal blue on my laptop, is much nearer 'Kermit Green' in real life 😕  🤣

Definitely on the 51 this is a demi with one of my favorite signing stuff pens

No, I was referring to the colour of my Lamy Safari in ‘Petrol’ (the 2017 LE Safari).

Alas, no pics, but Green Pens by Sailor, Lamy, Jinhao, Wing Sung, Hero, Pilot, Marxton, Parker, Sheaffer, and quite a few of them are neon-y.

The one and only green pen I have is the Monteverde Ritma olive green se running Pelican Jade green ink.

It looks like outer space! So pretty!

Thanks.  It does doesn't it?

 

The material is called Copper Mountain.It's an exoticblanks blank material. I do think it was misnamed. Silver, copper and green in that black base color.

@Runnin_Ute and @Penguincollector it’s so cool you both have the green Pelikan Souverain pens. I like it in green, but only have blue ones. 

Actually none are Souverans. On the left with black cap, a M150, on the right a M205 DUO (BB), in the middle are a vintage 140 and 400NN. Wonderful nibs on thoae two.

I love green pens the most...but I have got only four one  

Parker 88 Green Lacquer, Parker 88 Green Matte, Parker Rialto Green Lacquer and Parker Rialto Green Matte.

Sorry, no photos at hand now...

The big one, a Guider Capsule has green so it stretches it a little. 

 

 

Wait, what is that Green Pelikan Demonstrator??? I thought they were gold trimmed not silver trimmed.

Did you manage to get one in another colour?

Yes. I originally wanted the coffee brown version, and got it for a birthday gift. Then I started wanting blue and green last year. I found the blue, and it became a birthday gift. My attempt to get a green version was not good. The online store took the money, then never did anything. They didn’t answer chat or emails. I ended up filing a case with PayPal, and getting my money refunded. I’m happy with the brown and blue versions.

You need to get yourself a green one  ....I spent ages checking sizes and cost between the M400 / M600 /M800 on the green version years ago...then they re-released the 'original' tortouishell 🥰  (not the one with the white cap and section, I didn't like that at all) But at the time it was a lot of money to spend on a pen.....

[Misfit]

Some day, maybe I can get a green stripe one. I’d likely look in the M400 size, because I have Pelikans that size, and they are lower priced. 

[Misfit]

So far, blue pens are more popular than green pens. I’m curious to see how many yellow pens there will be when we get to that pen club.

That’s a hard color to pin down. Will we need a Teal Pen Club? Or a Pen Club for pens that defy any dominant color. 

[dms525]

I'm generally a blue pen kinda guy, but I do have a few green pens. In fact, I will readily admit, they are among the most attractive pens in my collection.

Ah, thank you!  I practice and use a pen that suits my penmanship.
