I can't give you any feedback on color, but I will say that I learned something about comfort from my current pen, the Hinderer modular kubaton. Now this pen is supposed to be relatively poor as a user, and certainly it took a few minutes (minutes, not hours) to get used to it. But, that's my point: I'm used to it. I like writing with it. Every time I use it I like it because I just like the whole piece! With the cap stored on the back end it is top heavy and my hand doesn't seem to notice. Unscrewing the cap is a tactile experience that takes time, but I seem to adapt to that too. I work in my warehouse all day and I have to write things down wherever I am on a slip of paper so I am often at a loss for a horizontal surface to lean on. I love the fact that the Fisher Space refill allows me to lean up on the side of something to write. And, yeah, the kubaton gets criticized for the "smaller" refills. But, guess what, the refills last several weeks the way I use them. I bought something like twenty-five of them for about fifty dollars off the web and I am working my way through them. It's all good -- I love my pen and I find it plenty comfortable!
