Limited Edition: Midnight Sun
The February ink in our Ink of the Month series is Limited Edition – Midnight Sun.
An ink inspired by a phenomenon that defies the familiar rhythm of day and night. A light that does not disappear — even at midnight.
The story of the colour
Midnight Sun is inspired by the midnight sun that illuminates the Arctic Circle during summer. A sun that never fully sets, remaining present — quiet, cool, and enduring.
It is a deep blue shade where night meets day. A colour of endless twilight, stillness, and expanded time.
Curated by INKSTAND
Midnight Sun belongs to the Colour specimen series — colours born from subtle encounters with the surrounding world.
- selected, mixed, and bottled by the INKSTAND team,
- created as a seasonal, one-time edition,
