I would rewrite it: "I bought a blue pen" or "I bought a pen which is blue". "I bought a pen, the color of which is blue" sounds better, but still stilted and non-native, than "I bought a pen whose color is blue" (makes the pen seem more animate, perhaps in a Harry Potter novel).
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
