Title: A nice improvement overall
Review: First of all, the new retractable design seems to be a complete success. After almost a year there is no sign that they are drying out, and the change also makes it trivially easy to switch between colors. I also like the thinner profile and the pocket clip. I also haven't seen any smearing except for a slight amount with pen-written text that was *just* written.My only criticism is the colors themselves -- I think most of us want the colors to really pop. The classic yellow does this very well. Pink, green, and light blue are pretty good. Orange is OK, but the red, dark blue, and purple are just too dark,. They don't really stand out and they make it hard to read the text underneath. These three are also the ones not included in the 5-pack, so that would be my recommendation unless you really need a ton of different colors.
