This is a marbled brown Pelikan 200 EF...now loaded with MB Irish Green.

Brown/yellow depending on how you turn it.

Even finer than the picture. I got this picture and pen from Fritz.

I asked him for the narrowest EF he had in the shop and it was one of the last tear drop tipped nibs. Writes with the expected nice clean line of a tear dropped nib.

My one and only yellow pen in my collection. These days I only use this pen as a size comparison and color reference for the other pens in my collection. Thank goodness I never bonded with the Lamy Safari triangular section, else wise I'd be going insane trying to buy every color that was ever produced!

There are such folks, and them that want all 51 color and cap variations of the P-51.

Just won on German Ebay............something I'd been wanting for a long time. A tortoise 400nn.

and it is a very bright one...don't know if it's black or dark brown.Other pictures look black.

The Etue is not original, but that' ok.

It looks a touch brighter than my Pelikan 500 and transition 400 tortoises.

Hah!  I didn't think I could get used to the grip at first either, until someone gave me a Jinhao 599 (a knockoff of a Lamy al-Star).  Then I was hooked.  But I mostly don't like the "regular" colors of the Safari/al-Star/LX lineup, so only buy the ones in colors I like, which tend, for the most part to be LE colors -- and not always all of those at that. 

Originally I was going to be really silly and buy a pink Safari, but the color didn't really wow me.  Then the Dark Lilac LE came out and it was ALL OVER™.....

That light brown tortoise...now that i have it, @ the same shade as my '51-54 500 and my '54 transition 400 semi-flex B (soft ++).....the guy who sold it had a real nice light on it.

It is about the shade of my other older tortoise Pelikans...........not lighter like the picture 'shows'.

Two pictres show it as black, one looks a slight tad brown...it is black cap and knob.

 

It, like my OBBB 500, the 400nn has a maxi semi-flex nib an F soft +++....so I can forgive being not neon tortoise.

My 91-97 semi-vintage 400 tortoise is darker than the vintage tortoise Pelikans.  Regular flex + soft.

I can't say I have too many in yellow.  Here's what I have.  From left to right:

• Monte Verde Riviera: I almost didn't include this for several reasons, including that it's not well made and that it's got red stripes.  I've included it anyway, given the rich yellow stripes;
• Montblanc Carrera Piston Filler: This one's got the black knob.  I've also got one with a yellow/ orange knob, but that looks like the cartridge filler;
• Montblanc Carrera Cartridge Filler: This one is my daily writer at home and is the only one of the six that's actually inked up at the moment;
• Lamy Safari Mango: I'm yet to use this pen.  The colour is wonderful;
• Lamy Safari Yellow: This one's a gift from my wife. I'm still to write with it;
• Pelikan Happy Pen: This one is really special to me.  I loved these when I was a kid and only managed to acquire one a couple of years ago (as part of a near new set).

Sadly my only yellow one, guess I need to find some companions ...

@Penguincollector and I are creating these pen club threads. We expected yellow would be not as popular.  The next version of Pen Club, if it goes to plan, should get lots of photos.  Still, you only need one of the color!

My one and only pair of truly yellow pens:

Parker Duofold (Streamlined Junior Long), Mandarin Yellow, pen and pencil set.

 

 

If we stretch it a bit, I might add the Pelikan M200 Café Crème:

 

 

And the Jinhao X750 that sports a colour I would call "Vanilla":

 

 

I won´t put any of the Pelikan Tortoises in here, as for me they are genuinely brown pens, not yellow ones. Is there a brown pen thread? 🤔

[Misfit]

Hi @carola  I have a Cafe Creme too. Eventually there will be a White, off white and cream Pen Club. 
 

Right now, yellow needs the love, so the more the merrier. 

[Penguincollector]

@carola, the Mandarin Yellow Duofold set is the stuff of dreams.  That’s the first pen I think of when yellow pens are mentioned. The rest are welcome too- I included gold flighters in my picture. We’ll get to brown eventually. The tortoise Pelikans seem to have quite a range from light to dark.

Same for me. And I always liked that bright and strong, incredibly modern looking yellow a lot. People usually have a hard time believing that pen ist 90 years old. When I was finally offered that pair, I felt no need of thinking about it for more than a minute before I definitely knew I wanted it enough to buy it. I needed the minute because there also was an older version of the Mandarin Yellow up for grabs and I had to find out which version I liked better. It was the smoother looks of the younger version that got me, combined with the benefits of the additional pencil, better material and lower price.

Thank you for sharing @chris2400  does the nib show a lot of flex?

[Bo Bo Olson]

I had already answered.

This is my only flex nib.

[Bo Bo Olson]

IMO 3X the light down stroke....depending on how much pressure was needed to do that, if well mashed, a nice springy regular flex, if just some, then semi-flex.
