Wearingeul The Picture of Dorian Gray Fountain Pen Ink

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a 30ml bottled fountain pen ink from Wearingeul's Oscar Wilde collection — a light dove gray with a violet cast and pronounced color shading.

The purple and the gray don't blend here, they separate. Wearingeul built the ink around that: purple for youth and flawless beauty, gray for the portrait quietly bearing the damage in its place, the two repelling each other as the ink dries. A gray that turns out to have been a violet all along is a rare thing, and it's worth a wetter nib and white paper to see it properly.
