Black or blue pen?

I know for exams we're recommended to write in black since the papers are scanned. But out of curiosity, what colour do you guys prefer/use during SACS/general writing?

Personally I've always used blue since to me it's more neat.

Used both blue and black for my exam. I don't think it really matters as long as you write clearly.

  I'm awaiting the results of a poll asking top VCE scorers which colour pen they used, before deciding myself

In English or Literature I usually use blue, unless i'm putting in an aditional paragraph (so I can write "See extra paragraph on last page at the asterisk (*) in BLACK pen" and be sure that they find the fkn paragraph)

For all my other subjects I just use whichever pen feels right.
