Black. Works better with highlighters. Also, there are many different kinds of blue pen, so if I lost a blue pen and had to use another, the colours would be mucked up. There is only one black, and it is black.

That is indeed true, although while I notice such things, I don't really mind. Unless its totally different of course.

But you could get a black pen thats running out of ink, which may be more of a grey colour.

Re: blue or black pen?

although i mostly use black in exams
