New 2025 editions

[Doc Dan]

We should know something soon. It is almost March. I'd like to see a hunter/safety orange Safari, or a Tennessee orange Safari.

Hmmm.  Like the colors of the pen barrels/caps, but am not that keen on the sections and trim colors.  
I suspect that I will wait until I can see them in person, but not sure that even then I'd be going, "MUST HAAAAAAVE!"

New colours for AL-Star. The Aubergine looks nice.

[Glenn-SC]

I’m liking the alternate colored transparent sections.

Hmmm.   That's not a color I'd equate with "scarlet"....

This is one I'd have to see in person.  The link makes it look a little redder in tone than my first Safari -- the 2016 Dark Lilac SE.  So I suspect I'd likely pass on it....  But I would be interested in seeing a side by side comparison of them once this one is released....

My wife thought it looked deep purple or even a little brown. Agreed that this isn't what I think of when someone says scarlet.

[inkstainedruth]

I was thinking along the same lines as your wife... especially the "brown" part.

Dark Scarlet...

I spotted this on instagram yesterday and I like the color a lot.

I really like matching pens to ink and I believe I can find a few that would pair up nicely.

Personally, I would have called that colour 'Burgundy' or 'Claret'.

 

I likes it 😊

 

There is no sign (yet?) of it being available here in Inglistan.

[Glenn-SC]

I don’t care what a company names a color, only if I like the color or not.  
(Remember the “amber” 2000?)

I like the new color of this Safari. 

[Doc Dan]

That Safari is almost maroon, but it is a cabernet sauvignon color. It certainly isn't crimson. I like the color. 

 

I saw pictures of those new safaris a week ago, or a bit more. My local dealer had been to Lamy in Germany. I think they are ugly because of those color combinations. Someone is taking too many shrooms. 

[bassmannate]

False alarm. Scarlet is apparently a new regular color according to a video Goulet put out earlier today.

And also (now) according to Lamy's website for the UK market!

I like the Scarlet and I'm pleased that Lamy is expanding the color palette of dark colors with black clips.  If you put the Scarlet next to some other releases of the past few years - the Dark Lilac, the Petrol, the Steel Black, and the Umbra in the regular color line, it fills a place and fits right in.

Agreed. In general, I like the coated clips over the stainless/chrome clips. 

 

Also, I see a couple of new coming soon lamy inks at Goulet now but no indication if they're special edition or normal and no coming soon pens.
