It has been established that we all love our school supplies and in particular pens. I have found that most people have a definite preference as to what color ink you always use. What is yours? I am blue.

I had to vote "other" because my ink colour is based upon my mood. I have green, black and blue pens currently on my desk.

At work I use a different colour every day. I rotate between dark blue, purple, orange, light blue, pink and green. Every morning I open my notebook and say "What colour day is it today?"
For most other things (like writing on birthday cards etc) I tend to use purple .

Good heavens, that's exactly me, too! i used to have the most divine burgundy pen, but I don't think they make them anymore.

I have a weird aversion to blue ink. I'm only black with a lot of colored ink thrown in when grading. I like pink and purple for grading.

I have zero preference between black ink and blue ink, I just grab a pen. For personal writing, I love color! If I have a choice, and it doesn't have to be official or professional, I'll use any color but black, blue, or red.

Black. Always black. Blue ink bugs me. Me too. In fact, it must be a PaperMate Kilometrico pen (not sure if you have this variety in the US).

I prefer black when it comes to writing. When I grade papers, I choose a pen color that matches my outfit. I only had one class figure that out.

I like black. I used other colors for Christmas cards sometimes but nothing else.

Blue for me. I remember years ago I bought a pen one year for school that was Peacock Blue - a beautiful shade of teal. Now I'm just boring, but it was fun in teh school years before teachers made kids use boring blue or black.

I've been in banking for 25 years. For the first 10 years, I could ONLY use black, because of the crappy imaging machines we used back then. It's just ingrained now.

For writing, black. Pentel EnerGel black, or a sharpie writer. But I have tons of colored pens to add flair when I want it!

Hmmm it depends ... If the lined paper is black lined, I prefer a blue pen ... Vice versa If it is plain paper, I reach out for the nearest colour!

I prefer coloured inks to black or blue - both in my cartridge pen (I have orange in there now) and my everyday pens (G2 - always).
However if I do use blue or black - it's ALWAYS black (or a pretty teal or peacock blue - not the standard blue)

My choice is black. And at work that is all that is allowed. Oh, and I do not care for gel pens I want real ink.

Colors followed by blue then black. I like to keep running documents so I use a different color when I'm adding to them which helps me separate thoughts or dates. I also prefer ball point to gel ink. I'm an auditor so I tend to stay away from red at work and only use it at home

Haven't seen anyone mention the 4-color pens yet.
I use the Papermate Inkjoy Quatro pens: one has black, blue, red, green & the other one has pink, purple, teal, light green.
