Are ALL periwinkles, ferns, sages, and buckskins supposed to have self-colored sections, or is it ok to see them in black as well? What about demonstrators?
Snorkels with self-colored sections

I believe all these colors started with matching sections.

Don't know, but I have 1 periwinkle, 1 buckskin, and 2 sages that have the colored sections. Also my vermillion pen has a colored section. My fern, however, has a black section. I assume it came that way, but am not sure.

I've never seen a Fern from the wild with black section. Still I keep open mind. I think I have a spare fern section. Maybe.

My fiesta has a matching section and so does my vermilion. The ads with new colors often show snorkels with black sections and not matching sections though some do (there are only a few new color snorkel ads to begin with). Perhaps matching sections was not for all time though, I've never seen matching sections on Peacock or Mandarin.

Fiestas routinely turn up with black sections, though matching sections do happen. Peacock and Mandarin indeed "always" are black sectioned.

That be photoshop. My vermillion with the white dot and band superimposed from a mandarin. I used the mandarin because there was a bit of reflection on the white dot - and the colors were close. I had to do a bit of distorting the band, because the pens were taken from slightly different angles. It is amazing how much things like that matter. Anyway, I used the "free transform" tool to do that.
I was so pleased with that - I totally blanked on the fact that the white dots have no clip imprint. Ah well, the pen exists only in my mind, anyway. Of course, I do actually have all the Snorkel colors. Like most collectors, my Fiesta has a metal cap.

Black should always have a matching section! :-)
On any other board, that picture would confuse people. Then they would ask how someone managed to replace the clip with a wrong one.
My fern has a name in the barrel, so the rest of the parts could use another barrel, just one.

Do you mean Fiestas are mostly metal capped pens?

"Mostly" is true, but also is understatement.
