Chameleon Color Tone Pens are now available in the UK.
These double ended pens have an innovative refillable alcohol based system that enables you to change the colour tone of the ink without the need to use multiple pens.
Chameleon Color Tone Pens consist of a mixing chamber containing the ink & they have two nibs, one is a Japanese brush tip (easy to distinguish as there is a grey band around the cap) that acts more like a paint brush, the other is a bullet tipped marker. A blender & detail pen are also available to help you unleash your creativity whether it’s Manga, fine art, graphics or just doodling.
How to use
The mixing chamber contains a colourless medium with mixing nib, in order to inject some colour just insert pen vertically into the chamber until both nibs touch, either nib can be placed into the chamber, the longer they are fused together the lighter the colour will be. As you start to use the pen the colour will gradually get darker until it is the pure colour is reached.
