![]() I actually really like this color after I got over the initial shock of the purple not being a true violet color. And finally, the purple is a muted, lavender color. The orange is a nice, juicy orange and the pink is actually a bit muted and not as raspberry as the cap eluded it might be. The green is a bluish, emerald green color. ![]() The blue was not a traditional blue pen blue but rather a lighter sky blue. Thankfully, the black ink is a pleasingly, dark black and a total competitor for the Sharpie Pen. I was a little thrown by the pen cap colors hoping that the colors of the ink would match the complexity of the cap colors. So, let’s get into the true functionality of these pens. That said, this is not the worst looking big box pen I’ve ever seen. Its a plastic marker pen, people… not the Space Shuttle. I don’t understand why American mass production, disposable pens have to be quite so “high tech” looking with lots of silver graphics and shimmery nonsense. The colors of the plastic are not particularly true to the actual ink colors but they are in the ball park. The caps are also slightly metallic which wasn’t as noticeable in the vacform packaging. The ink colors are indicated by the colored plastic cap and the end cap on the pens. The clip is arched away from the pen cap which leaves space to attach the pen to a notebook or binder but it does make for a strange profile. The black barrels are covered with zoom-y metallic silver graphics and the caps include a sturdy, metal clip. The pack I bought included a black, blue, purple, orange, red, pink and green pen. The package also lists the tip size as “fine” - equally vague sizing to the Sharpie Pen. The Bic Intensity Marker Pens are listed on the packaging as smudgeproof and permanent. I could tell form the moment I picked up the blister pack that this was Bic’s best efforts to compete against the Sharpie Pen so I needed to see for myself if it could hold its own against such a reliable tool. Its not often that I spy something in the big box store that I can’t resist. When I spotted these Bic Intensity Marker Pens in a set of seven colors at my local big box office supply store, I couldn’t resist trying them out.
