forme. Kamo Gray Fountain Pen Ink – KAMOGAWA 30ml | Kyoto Indie

Gray, but never flat. forme. named this one after the Kamo ducks that drift along Kyoto's Kamogawa River — and like a duck's coat catching the light, Kamo Gray keeps changing on you. It's a warm, faintly brownish gray that quietly lets go of hidden color as it dries.

This is a 30ml bottle of water-based dye fountain pen ink, built for writing, journaling, and ink swatching with any fountain pen.

• Volume: 30ml glass bottle · water-based dye ink
• Color: a soft, slightly brownish gray inspired by the coat of a Kamo River duck
• The magic: depending on paper and ink flow, notes of yellow, yellowish-green, blue, and pink surface and fade — a true shading ink ⚠️ confirm the shift on your own swatch before publishing; shimmer/"lame" status wasn't listed on the source page
• Packaging: bagasse paper box — eco-friendly, made from repurposed sugarcane fiber
• Origin: designed by forme., a Kyoto, Japan indie brand · ink bottled in Korea
• Compatible with: fountain pens, dip pens, and ink swatching

Made for the gray-ink devotees, the shading chasers, and anyone whose journal deserves a color with a little weather in it. A quiet, complex neutral that plays beautifully with warmer inks — and a lovely gift for the fountain pen lover who thinks they've seen every gray.

Now sold out at the source — only a handful of bottles made it here, and there's no restock coming. Add Kamo Gray to your collection while it lasts. ✦
