I don't know. But for sure Blue is not accepted anywhere.

Black can be safely used and that is recommended in all countries as standard.

No precise instruction on the type/color of pen to use but i feel black is more acceptable with this kind of document.

In certain countries a black pen signature is not recognized. Looks too much like just a copy.
So for example in Romania or Israel you have to sign with a blue pen.
Canada I think is an exception that it seams like it requires a black pen for some reason
