The colour preview includes a texture. The Sculpt view shows the geometry that becomes your print. Most home printers produce a single material colour; you can paint the head afterwards.
You can adjust the socket diameter and depth before exporting. Measure your round or hexagonal pencil and print a small fit sample first; pencils and printer tolerances vary.
