The ink provides a nice bright light orange. Being a 0.5mm pen, however, it's
almost unreadable unless you focus in on it. Still, this is more a fashion color
than a serious note-taker or business instrument, so it adequately met my
expectations.
The pen is somewhat of a mixed bag, but overall I have had positive experiences
with the Jetstream Color line. First, I love the relatively thin diameter and
the fact that there is no grip. I love the white barrel color and the accurate
barrel representation of the ink color. The plunger is springy and satisfying
(perhaps my favorite part of the pen itself). One problem I noticed is that if
you unscrew the bottom and screw it back on too tight, there might be a lot of
tension and cause cracking down the barrel, as there was in my first Jetstream
Color. (Just be aware and don't screw it on too tight!)

This pen is a lot scratchier than the original Jetstream ballpoints as when I'm
writing, there's quite a lot of friction. As for the colour, it's quite a lovely
apricot orange but doesn't seem very pigmented unlike the darker colours in this
series.
