Writing
"I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done."
Steven Wright
We know that there is a melacha on Shabbos called "koseiv". If one writes two letters he has violated Shabbos with koseiv. However there is also a melacha called "tzovea" - coloring. Every time a person writes he is also coloring the page [blue pen, black pen, red pen etc.]. How come one is not liable for tzovea as well?

i'm guessing that the d'oraita act of tzoveia would be on an animal skin for the specific constructive purpose of having a colorful hide (such as for decorating the mishkan).
when writing, the color remaining from the ink is at best davar she'aino mitkavein in which case it would drop a notch from malacha d'oraita. as such, we can then always apply the kim lei principle and he would only be chayav on "koisev".
