    Brain holding them in a row of increasing saturation looks so beautiful! I think people going with a specific color scheme would be able to display them nicely with matching desk decor and stationery. I already have two Lamy's so Im not sure if I want even more haha! I like that they have more colors tho. I have my strawberry lamy and mango lamy, together I call them my condiment pair. Mustard and ketchup. I was going to get the cream one, for mayonnaise haha.

    My children screamed from the other room that I need to see something. I ran over thinking something like an emergency had happened but NO. It was because they saw new Lamy colors due to this video. They automatically assume I’m already buying them and discussing which colors will be theirs. Awfully bold of them, lol.
    Fountain pens are giving me gray hairs.

    Thank you guys! I have got into the world of fountain pens! I am from India and an eco freak student ! I started with the search for better alternatives to those use and throw plastic pens and refills and one day I suddenly found your channel, a channel so passionate about the writing experience and the writing instrument! The knowledge that you share really helps us, the newbies! Anyway being simple and minimalist, i decided to confine myself with three fountain pens.. i own first two of the list - lamy safari cream ( medium nib)(for taking notes), twsbi eco t clear (1.1 stub)( for headings etc).. the third one that I wish to own someday is pilot custom 823 medium nib! I just love the look of the pen, the piston mechanism, it's nib.. i first heard about it from your video where you were talking about top 7 fp's to last a lifetime.afterthat i watched all your videos and that wish has just grown on me!
    If you have to choose just three fountain pens , which will come in that list?

      @jonathonshanecrawford1840 Рік тому +1

      Yes Fountain pens like Lamy Safari and Jinhao 777 are a good start, I have started my collection last years and it building!
      Not like those Bic plastic pens even those that use _refiles_ waste of money.
      As to Fountain pens a converter is the way to go! Or if one is travelling a lot cartridges are also great, they can be refiled as well!

    Thanks for the color comparison to the so far existing colors, it really helped. And having watched the Pencast as well, i do not mind a bit of overlapping because usually Drew has the urge to 'take the new product apart' in his way and i love those short videos while taking a break. Seeing the product again in the pencast is a nice reminder and listening to both of your ideas then adds up to the whole Info that was spread.

    As someone who is _obsessed_ with blue (especially light blues) Aquasky intrigues me. I'd like to use it with Diamine Florida Blue, Pilot Iroshizuku Ama-iro or Twsbi Sky Blue. They are darker than Aquasky but still in the same sky blue family.

  • @JoshuaChandler

    Hi Brian, my name is Marisa, I'm from Portugal and watch every single Goulet Pen video.
    I've had a crazy idea long ago, but I thought it would be very hard and laborous to do.
    BUT...
    As you're already doing half of the work showing us nice matching colours for the newest pens, why make a curated sample kit for each pen selling them as an option with each of the pens?
    I think that would be awesome!
    My love to all the Goulet Team, especially to you, Rachel and Drew.

    When they come out with a group like that (or even just a pair), I tend to get just the color that I like the best. For instance, I got the Terra Red and the Cozy Cream Safari colors, but skipped on the Savannah Green and the Strawberry. In this set, the Aquasky "kind of" appeals to me, but I'm at the point where I'm asking myself if I REALLY need another Lamy Safari, unless it REALLY jumps out at me.

    You guys don't sell them, but Octopus Fluids came out with a series of six pastel colors a few years ago (might've even coincided with the first set of pastel safaris). Having tried samples, I've found them all a bit too light to be practical, but they do match the pen colors pretty nicely. Specifically there's Crystal Blue as a match for Aquasky, Poppy Pods for Springgreen, and Cherry Blossom / Living Coral for Lightrose.

    Lamy always does this... I don't NEED three coordinating Lamys but if I did, I'd get the SEs from any given year. They always look so nice together.
    Maybe it's my monitor but I seem to be seeing a little more slant towards yellow on the blue one than you are, so the ink I thought of for that one is Diamine Subzero.

  •  Рік тому +2

    Ink suggestions for aqua sky: Ink Industries "Cat at dawn", Ferris Wheel Press "Blue Cotton Candy", Pilot Iroshizuku "Ama-Iru" (tho more intense than this pen's colour)
    Ink suggestions for the green one: Ferris Wheel Press "Sweet Honeydew", Robert Oster "Australis Tea", Diamine "Vivid Lime" (a bit too intense) Pilot Iroshizuku "Chiku-Rin", Robert Oster "Chartreuse" (it has a touch of beige in it tho)
    Ink suggestions for light rose: Ferris Wheel Press "Strawberry Macaron"
    I would add FWP "Fluttering Heart" and "Central Park Greens" if someone fancies some glitter.

    The aquasky looks like a ringer for a Carolina Blue. As a proud UNC alum, I've been trying to hunt down good (and readable) Carolina Blue inks. And so, if it is closer to Carolina Blue, I'd also recommend Sailor Ink Studio 143.

    This year Lamy is scratching the itch I've got for a couple if years to never been able to get the Lamy pastels 2019, the Petrol and the Dark Lilac... I've always thought Lamy was overated and now look at me pinning for these pens!😅
    Also in terms of inks, I would have chosen Diamine Spring Green for the green, J. Herbin Diabolo Menthe for the blue and Colorverse (a)Boo for the pink.

  • @TymberJ

    Herbin Vert Pre for the Green? Not always the most readable ink, but doesn't feel too far off. And maybe the Diamine 2022 Inkvent "Celebration" works for the lightrose?

    • @angelaking9619
      @angelaking9619 Рік тому

      Exactly my thoughts. FWP definitely have those very light inks that match pastel colours. Many will find them too light to read on the page, which is a pity because they're so pretty.

    • @karibean13
      @karibean13 Рік тому +3

      I came to suggest Sweet Honeydew! I think Three Steamboats would make a decent match for the blue as a slightly more aqua version of Blue Cotton Candy.
      Schneider Pastell inks are likely good choices for the pink and blue as well, but I’m not sure if they have a green.

    • @ssmith364

    Instead of matching, go with blending. So some of the aqua blues or turquoises might work quite well for the Aqua Sky. Several of the greens you chose for the Spring Green were quite good, I thought. Good choices for the Light Rose, but how readable are those inks?

I am to green what Brian is to blue...so IF I have the funds before they disappear I feel morally obligated to get springgreen (and also, I want it because GREEN). Also, Sailor Ink Studio 167, because I feel a strong compulsion to own all Sailor inks before I die.
