David’s answer is more appropriate as per my requirement whereas NESS linked this term with his First Job to differentiate between Red and Blue inks. No problem. That is his point of view.
You question reminded me of my first job working in private practice in Scotland after leaving University.
Only the Senior Partners were allowed to use red pens, and only the Associate Partners could use Green ink. Senior members of staff could use black ink and those of us at the bottom of the food chain could only use blue.
However, since this was before the advent of colour photocopiers, in some cases it was quite academic. To this day, however, I never use blue ink and I always mark my corrections in red!
