Bright orange has long been a favorite color of mine. There’s just something about it that feels electric to me, and I know I’m not alone because people often associate it with feelings of warmth, energy, and positivity.

It’s also known for its ability to stand out in a crowd, drawing the eye to it like a magnet. In fact, it’s a color choice you kind of have to be careful not to go overboard with, even if you’re hoping to be noticed. Instead, it’s best to use orange accessories to accent other things you wear/carry.

To that end, this edition of the Caran d’Ache 849 ballpoint pen is an attractively bold option that’s conspicuous in the best way. That lacquered ‘fluorescent orange’ color makes it nigh-impossible to misplace or lose in a bag, and like its siblings, it sports the classic slim hexagonal barrel and signature pocket clip that’s always made the 849 such a distinctive writing utensil.

You can get this audaciously orange pen for $22 on Amazon. It comes loaded with one of Caran d’Ache’s own Goliath M Blue ink cartridges.
