I have an obsession with office supplies and I’m a bit of a pen hoarder. One thing that I enjoy doing is swatching out my writing utensils to see how the colors compare between brands.
The Test: Each pen is used on white notebook paper and a yellow legal pad. You can click on the image below for a larger view.
The Pens: (links are affiliate) Paper Mate InkJoy 100 | Paper Mate InkJoy 300 RT | Paper Mate Profile Elite | Pilot Acroball | BIC Round Stic Grip | BIC Cristal Bold | Zebra NR7 | Paper Mate Flair
The Conclusion: Light blues are another fun color to get away from the basics. The worst performers of my collection were the Pilot Acroball and Bic Round Stic Grip – way too pale for my liking.
