Blue ink is light and seems to make the words float on the paper. Black ink locks the written words down in a more solid way. My definition of different levels of people is with respect to the corporate world, since we spend most of the week working and that is the most likely time to wear polo shirts to work In my opinion, when you meet with clients in upper management, you need to wear something a little brighter. These people somehow tend to judge you based on what you wear. Black, sometimes, is perceived as unfriendly, authoritative and aggressive. Notice why policemen wear darker blue (almost black, when viewed from afar) and hospital staff wear lighter colours. Of course, it is your character and personality that these people should be more concerned about. But, sometimes, people just make wrong impressions based on sight. It may not be your desire to wear black polo shirts that people surrounding you that concern them most. They are blessed to have you around, they just want you to bring more colour into their lives. It is just my personal experiences. Black ink is strong and assertive. Blue ink is light and seems to make the words float on the paper. Black ink locks the written words down in a more solid way.

What do you mean by different levels? I prefer black-inked pens to blue-inked. Just looks nicer when writing. not sure why...

I use only black-inked pens. My keyboards are black. My LCDs are black. My laptop is black. The coffee is black. But, the bedsheets are not. I used to wear black polo shirts all the time but when you interact with people of different levels, black may not be appropriate. So, there are some variety in my polo shirts now. I like black.

Interesting link! Not sure if you heard it before, but when Obama was asked about Bill Clinton's black credentials, he said he had to check out Bill's dancing first. So, the 'answer' to your question - Can it dance? Hi there. Interesting link!
