The correct answer is

Ink

The relationship is writing instrument : its writing substance. A pencil writes using lead (graphite) contained inside it.

Analogously, a pen writes using ink contained inside it. "Ball" is only a tip component, "write" is the action and "blue" is just one possible ink colour. Hence the answer is Ink.
