Many packs are multicolored and include black, blue, red, green, pink, purple, lime green, turquoise, orange, and in some lists brown.
These erasable pens use a thermo‑sensitive gel ink that can turn colorless above about 140 °F and can regain color after cooling (noted around 14 °F). Because the ink’s visibility changes with temperature, these pens are not recommended for legal or official documents.
Common comfort features include hexagonal barrels, rubber or contoured grips, and full‑length cushioned grips designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended writing.
Ballpoint descriptions emphasize bolder points (e.g., 1.6 mm) and easy‑glide flow for striking lines, while gel pen descriptions highlight finer tips (commonly 0.7 mm), more vivid colors, smoother lay‑down, and quick‑dry or smear‑resistant claims.
Pack sizes shown range from small 3‑count packs up to 15‑count packs, with common counts including 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 15.
