The providers of such joint pins should, however, in the ad text more accurately point out that it is indeed a very light shade of gray.
Only the holding position of the pen when repairing wall joints is through the almost horizontal posture so unhappy that just (due to gravity) sometimes no color from behind in the tip longer runs. Na so, then one has to settle short time, cap it, shake - and you're on.
Fresh paint can be removed also pretty easy. Waterproof she seems to be, because now after about 3 months Shower load is still all a coat of paint.
How far or long the pin actually holds (as some reviewers have already written), I (still) do not judge because I have mended only a maximum of 2 meters and there is now certainly still some in pen available.
Strong buy recommendation for those who want to repair not to large areas at joints quickly and easily.
