The maker's text calls the barrel yellow; the lead photo reads orange-amber, and we sampled the photo.

Conversions to US dollars are approximate, at October 2026 rates (US$1 = ¥158 = ₩1,330 = NT$32.5 = CN¥6.7 = SEK 9.9 = DKK 6.7 = ₺49.6 = C$1.41 = A$1.43 = CZK 21.7; €1 = US$1.12; £1 = US$1.32; CHF 1 = US$1.21). Key takeaways It is a collaboration: the Taipei shop Tools to Liveby sells the Yutu Double-Ended Ballpoint Pen, which Yutu made in the style of its 1966 F220. The shop says Yutu created Taiwan's first ballpoint pen in 1966; the F220 is named for the 220 workers at the factory then. It has two tips in one pen; two combinations are listed, black and blue or red and blue, with oil-based ink and Taiwan as the origin. The maker gives no length, weight, tip size or refill type, so none appears here. It cost NT$120 (about US$3.70) on November 5, 2026, in our $ band (under $5). It is a two-color ballpoint with one color at each end, in the style of a pen Yutu made in 1966. Tools to Liveby is a stationery shop in Taipei that also develops its own products. This pen is sold as the Yutu Double-Ended Ballpoint Pen, a collaboration with Yutu, which the shop describes as “Taiwan’s National Treasure in Stationery”. We read the shop’s English page on November 5, 2026.
The shop’s text says Yutu was founded in 1947 and is symbolized by a rabbit logo, and that in 2008 it opened the Yutu Pencil School, a tourist factory where visitors can try pencil making. The pen “revives this nostalgic design” with a classic yellow body and dual-color tips: “two colors in one pen, perfectly suited for both work and creativity”.
What is the Yutu F220?
The F220 was Taiwan’s first ballpoint pen, per the shop. It says Yutu made it in 1966 with “a distinctive yellow barrel and blue cap”, and that it took its name from the 220 employees working at the factory then. We could not check that history against a Yutu page, so it is the shop’s account of its partner.

What colors and ink does it have?
Two combinations: black and blue, or red and blue, with oil-based ink. The shop lists the ink for the black and blue pen as “black&blue / oil based”. It does not give a tip size, a refill model or whether either end can be swapped. The photo shows a black cap at one end and a blue one at the other on an orange-amber barrel; the text says yellow, and we drew the photo’s color.
How do you switch between the two colors?
You use the other end: the shop describes a pen with a different color at each end. A click multi-pen holds two refills in one barrel and switches with a button. This one, from the shop’s description, puts a color at each end, so you flip the pen to switch. The page gives no cap or mechanism details, which is why we cannot say whether the ends are caps, knocks or fixed tips.
