Well, often blue ink is preferred, but only because of the requirements of a "wet signature" in many cases. However, I personally find that with the round first letter and looping that the shape of my name inevitably requires, I'd prefer the gravitas of black. I've long ago adopted an angled loop to some satisfaction, but this doesn't entirely prevent my name from lapsing into a ribbon curl if I'm rushing. I'm also --when I have the luxury-- a tiny bit persnickety about what shades of blue I end up choosing from the selection, for that same reason. Some blues are better than others. The darker the better, but one which is still an indisputable blue. Black pens tend to be judged by me only for their glide and even delivery of the ink not the unvarying shade.
