Black for business, Blue for social correspondence, Red for correcting errors, Green for stocktaking
Today, I wouldn't use anything but black, blue-black, or conservative dark blue for business, official, or formal writing. The sky's the limit for personal use.
In my previous life as a college instructor I used red and green to make corrections on student papers
A notary once asked me not to sign documents with black ink, because it looks very much like a photocopy. So I avoid signing things in black
Many licenses, etc. must be signed in a colour other than black for legal purposes.

As an attorney I try to make sure to always sign in blue so that I can easily tell the difference between original documents and copies.
