White with green lettering and a green rubber grip section, for me. We were instructed not to discuss the color of the eraser though.
We did not get to keep it.
$300 for an exam and all I got was free earplugs.

Yeah, I took it in Fort Worth, and apparently they were expecting cowboys on horses to come riding through the convention center or something. Plus there were areas of the building under construction. I heard less than 5 minutes of construction noise during the morning session, and none during the afternoon. I didn't use the earplugs, and I didn't see anyone around me that used them either. But at least we had them. And we had padded chairs... which was nice. But I can't reveal the color of the padding either.

No earplugs for us in MO.
The head proctor did say at the end of the test that "the pencils are yours to keep"

You jest, but depending on what state I end up in on a permanent basis, I may take the civil exam if it is beneficial to the career.

I kept my pencil. Its in the cup holder of my car.
What is the reason that only NCEES mechanical pencils are used on the exams? I got a blue one from FE in Oct. 2006 and a green one from PE Oct. 2010. Really hoping I don't have to acquire any more.
I've never heard of them giving out earplugs... Do they say NCEES on them? I'm surprised they let us bring in our own earplugs if they have those.

I kept mine too...it was BLACK. I knew on that FORTH attempt it would be my last, so I wanted the souvenier.
