Depends. If it is a legal document or something "serious" like that - usually blue with a medium point. If only for my own use, purple, pink, or turquoise Uniball Vision pens. I am very particular about my pens. I like a substantial pen with a good grip. I can't stand metal ones as my fingers slip down to the paper.

Barbara you should be using black. Tax forms ask for black.

I just bought a nice new pen. Black, medium point and probably already MIA

I've always liked a medium point..black or blue. With my old hands these days, I also need a 'fatter' pen which is less painful to hold.

i am a pen fanatic LOL. usually at work i use med. purple Pentel R.S.V.P. we got a batch of black Papermate Profile i am liking alot thou they only last 2 weeks a pen :-/ and it's our slow season right now lol. DH has a lathe and makes pen casings for gifts, i have yet to get one LOL but i always want some rare composite or wood that's always out of stock.

i agree on the 'legal' important stuff i only use black ink. i try to use special colors since i have artisitic tendencies and work as far from an artisitic field as you can get LOL. i'll find that turquoise color... ~ liz

Blue medium point.

Medium point with black ink. I like slender pens, the thick ones are harder to hold.

Medium point, black ink, and fat barrel.

Whatever's handy. Preferably either blue or black medium point. Sometimes red if that's all that I can find!

Black, fine point

I am a pen junky too. I have been known to buy as many as 10 single pens in a visit to Staples. I also buy them in multiple packs. I have many "pencil cups" around the house and usually grab whatever pen is handy. When I was a "working girl" I always used a turquoise pen and that became my trademark. Ahhh, the good old days! I usually only buy black or blue pens now.

blue and black don't matter as much to me, as the "feel of the pen in my hand". I like it to feel good. :)

Black medium for writing checks or signing papers, purple or turquoise for my personal use.

I like Black ink and wish companies that print catalogs and magazines would lay off the pastel and give us good black print so we can read it.
Sometiomes I like to write with fine and othertimes with medium

Whatever is close. I like a fatter pen as far as grip too.

I will use only a Pilot V5 Extra fine black roller pen.

I'm an editor, so I generally have more red pens than anything else.

I prefer fine or ultrafine tips.

For the office I have them get me the Pilot V7 Fine tips. Very nice writing pens.

I don't use pens often...color doesn't matter but I love love a great smooth writing one...Stacy

Black fine point for my Notary work. At work I do use a blue fine point so I can decipher my signature on the original documents from the copies.

Usually use black with medium point.

Blue medium point.

Black fine point. Pilot precise grips are my favorite at the moment. Oops just looked it's actually an extra fine point. Marketing...

Black ink, either medium or fine point, makes no difference to me.

Black fine point. I don't like the felt tip, it is like writing with a mop. vique.

Fine tip, fat barrel, preferably padded somehow. Blue or black, usually black. Creature of habit.

I prefer black with a fine tip.

"Tax forms ask for black."

In what state? The federal government doesn't require black ink on the IRS tax forms. In fact, color of ink isn't even mentioned, either on the form itself or in the instruction book. The Franchise Tax Board in the State of California doesn't require any particular color, either. If you want to get really technical, they don't even require a signature in ink. You could sign in pencil or Crayon. All the instructions say is "You must sign your tax return in the space provided...."

"i agree on the 'legal' important stuff i only use black ink."

"At work I do use a blue fine point so I can decipher my signature on the original documents from the copies."

My husband is an attorney, and I used to work as a paralegal. I was also a Notary. Hubs and I both insist on blue ink for signatures on original documents. It's virtually impossible to tell if a "black signature" is an original or a copy.

I prefer a fine point, fat barreled pen. I like purple the best, but can never find it in the pen I like, so then I use black. I hate blue.
