Unexpected great tool for marking dark woods

I have been working with walnut and ebony and have been having issues with being able to see pencil marks for layout. Came across a recomendation for a great pencil like tool for precisely marking (as precisely as a mechanical pencil) these dark woods from an unexpected source. It is a mechanical style pencil with special leads for tailoring. Comes with a nice variety of color so it should be able to provide good contrast with nearly any wood.
