What's your favorite color of biro?

The Backwards Man · 12-03-2013 02:02AM #1

I got accosted by a shop assistant today because I signed my name in green biro on a credit card receipt. He said it has to be black or blue and wouldn't accept it, I said OK, I won't shop in a shop that supports ink discrimination so took my custom elsewhere. I always write in green pen, it defines me as a person.

So what's your favorite color biro?

HAS to be black. I remember a teacher in school telling us once that writing in blue makes the writing too bright and subconsciously annoys the examiner. Seemed logical at the time.

You forgot to put a space between pen and is and I've never seen brown ink, but yeah, you got the idea.

Are you two using the same keyboard? I am a computer expert, maybe I can help.

The letters are usually BELOW the numbers.

Blue is always what I try to write in, red is for underlining/correcting. Black is for forms.

I like purple, but it's hard to find purple biros.

Garzard · 12-03-2013 02:41AM

Always blue, can't write as neatly with any other colour for some odd reason.

smileyj1987 · 12-03-2013 02:42AM

One letter in Blue , One in Black , One in red and then one in green is how I roll .

ashers222 · 12-03-2013 02:44AM

That's because purple inkplants are very rare, and can only be found in the chikihikkha mountains in Mexico.

Ihatecuddles-old · 12-03-2013 02:48AM

Blue, I always think my writing looks nicer in blue ink!

Now that I think about it, I think that's true.. Much prefer correcting black.

Greeting cards: Blue
Sympathy cards: Black
Personal letters/signature: Blue
Business letters/signature/forms: Black

I always write in invisible ink, cos they come free with my Junior Private Eye kits.
I think it is discriminatory that people don't carry invisible ink revealers on them.

seamus · 12-03-2013 12:26PM

I like writing in red biro. Brightens up everything.

I love it when people react aghast, claiming it's bad luck to write in red biro. What the actual fnck like.

kylith · 12-03-2013 12:27PM

Generally you can't sign official documents in red or green ink because those colours don't show up properly when faxed or photocopied. At least that's what I was told.

antodeco · 12-03-2013 12:28PM

Green Biro? I remember I had a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles pen, that wrote in green! It was awesome!

EDIT: Its actually still in use in my folks house! 20 year old ink!

What's your favorite color of biro?
