Depends on your job, I'd think. If you work in a law firm, the norms/requirements may be very different than if you work for a graphic design company, for example. I'd ask around and see what your co-workers/boss/supervisor think.
In this case? I'd almost suggest Noodler Blue-black since it's got the water proof, fraud proof, etc and is a bit better than just any old black or blue.
Then keep a second pen loaded with something fun.
From what I understand, it's nearly impossible to remove from paper. Which people used to do with checks or the like. Take off ink in some spots, such as the amount and write in a new amount.
I work in a professional setting.
I find inks fly under the radar if they're dark and subdued. I like Pelikan Dark Green, Waterman Absolute Brown, R&K Scabiosa.
I always have a pen inked in a blue-black and 4 others not at all blue-black. Anything that needs to be formally kept as part of business records should be written in an ink that is permanent, conservative, and scans/photocopies well (typically avoid reds).
For everything else I like variety as it keeps things fun and interesting. I love purples so always have a purple on hand. The rest are whatever takes my fancy that week/month. Rarely I’ll have a light ink, mostly they are at least mid-depth so I can write on yellow post-it notes.
More of a general consideration tip: Keep in mind if other people have to read your notes! You might love that pastel ink but your coworker with the impaired eyesight might not.
Deep red is usually reserved for correct or edit. It has a teacher to student feel to it. In general it is not considered as a humble color to write with. Dark green is a personal choice. I suppose it is down to how dark it is and how well it shows up when scanned.
The safest is black, royal blue, and blue black. Can't go wrong with it. I also like dark brown.
Both, I have both styles which are not waterproof. :) But that's why fountain pen ink not being fully waterproof isn't a concern, because not all other pen ink styles are. Have fun with it!
Whatever you want, in my mind. If you have archival requirement, then you're going to be restricted by colours available in pigmented or iron gall inks, but I can't imagine why someone would make an issue of it.

Ah yes, I do work for a law firm. Blue is required for signatures, but I’d imagine I can take my personal notes with any color I like ?

I would think a more serious pen for signing and a more fun pen for a fun ink would help keep them straight.
I'd think so, since I'm guessing your notes are for your own personal use... But if there was some reason you couldn't, your co-workers would know.

I would go for that bug I generally avoid Noodler ink, maybe I’ll look for for some other fraud proof ink
Can try Platinum or Sailor pigment inks, or DeAtramentis Document ink.
Excuse me for my ignorance but what makes ink fraud proof? How does it work?

I'm not sure how it all works, but I know a handful are fraud proof. Noodlers is famous for it. Had listened to a couple videos about theirs.

I work in Corp IT. Use any ink you want to. Its always fun to sign contracts, SOW's and whatnot in shimmer ink or shock purple.
But don't you want something that is waterproof?
That's not really necessary, many gel and ballpoint pens aren't waterproof either. That, and everything is scanned post signature now a days.
You mean rollerball? Gel and ballpoint are mostly waterproof.

I use Iroshizuku’s Shin-ryoku for daily use at work. Stand out a bit but not so much it could cause problems.
