How Bic 4-color pens work

Four color-pens are ballpoints that use tiny metal balls that roll along paper and release ink, just like with Bic black pens or other ballpoint styles. Barrels are wide enough to hold four ink reservoirs inside without being too large to hold comfortably. Along the tops of the pens are four color-coded buttons that users press to select each color.

Four-color pen uses

Instead of using a Bic red pen to edit papers, use the 4-color pen to color-code notes for easy referencing. They’re also handy when journaling to add some color to thoughts. Artists can create vivid art without needing several pens or markers. This pen design is also fun for school-aged children to help them learn to write. College students can use these writing tools for notes in each class and eliminate the need to carry several pens at once.

Bic four-color pen features

These multicolor pens have several features that help them last or make it easier for on-the-go writing.

• Retractable design keeps ink from drying out and there are no caps to misplace
• Available in fine point (0.8 millimeters) or medium point (1 millimeter) options for small or thicker writing styles
• Refills contain one of each color in a single package
• Pocket clips attach to clothing or bags so they don’t fall off
• Loops at the tops attach to lanyards for secure carrying

Barrel and ink color options

Bic 4-color pens come in several fun barrel color options for all personalities. The majority have the same ink in red, blue, black, and green as the everyday shades that people find with Bic blue pens, for example. Some barrels, however, come in shiny lime, pink, purple, and blue. Four-color fashion designs come in pastel barrel colors that include pastel purple, pink, blue, and green.
