Since Alchemy was based on the ultimate theory of turning Lead into Gold, I would love to see a nice medium grey ink with a subtle gold sheen. Call it Merlin's Quest...

Yup
The next color Endless Alchemy should do is a purple with a green sheen, and call it something like "Dragon's Breath" or "Dragon's Blood".

I am a college professor. Although I use also other colors for grading, my favorite grading color is pink. The next Endless Alchemy Color should be a nice pink with tons of sheen and shading, called "Tears of Students". Probably too specific to me.

TA here, and I also like to grade in hot pink. Currently it's Noodler's Shah's rose. Tears of Students would be a fun name for a grading ink, but I kind of prefer "READ ME." because that's what I wish they would do...
Just for the series "Full Metal Alchemist" they should make an ink called "Full Metal" and the color should be light blue with silver shimmer because the alchemist energy is shoen as a light blue lightning.

And a bright shading red to serve as the philosophers stone
I love the color of Candy Sea; maybe the next one should be an intense red or ruby color with black shine... perfect for "Philosopher's Stone".
I’d like to see Endless make a black ink with a greenish sheen and bronze shading called Scrying Mirror. Thanks for the demos, Tom. Please say to Ben! Sometime you guys should do a father/son video on your favorite fountain pens…maybe for Father’s Day gift ideas?
Orange color with purple/blue shimmer and call it Star Fire or Night of Flames 😍
Arcane Oak - a fresh, mid to deep shading, green ink - with an ability for a mid brown edge to form, rather like going through the seasonal stages of growth on a mature Oak tree, as you write. An overall green but slight edging of brown making it interesting to use, deep enough overall to be acceptable in the office, and perhaps on different shades of paper (white, ivory) will bring out its particular tonal variations slightly differently and likely be visible from a medium nib upwards. Additional ideas/thoughts: 'ALCHEMY' (from fountain pen ink - to - calligraphy ink) For those of us with metal dip nibs, and interest in calligraphy/lettering, as fountain pen ink is usually too runny without addition of some gum arabic to make it thicker, the Alchemy here would be for Endless to provide a sachet of powdered gum arabic in the box for adding to a miniature flask, (also included) up to the first line. Then add the ink up to the second line, put cap/stopper on and shake to mix the 'potion', thus some fun for you to transmute ordinary fountain pen ink into calligraphy ink. The small bottle and sachet can also be used with any of the Alchemy inks to transmute them into calligraphy inks. 'ALCHEMY' (from ordinary fountain pen ink - to - a shimmer fountain pen ink / shimmer calligraphy ink) A second sachet included, and also available separately, can be a shimmer particle (gold & silver options) allowing the customer to customise their Alchemy ink themselves. Customers may wish to add a cool shimmer (silver) to a hot shade eg red ink, or heat up a cool toned ink with a golden shimmer. or, they may want to try a preferred ratio of both silver and gold into their ink = 'Endless' customisation! Either the shimmer is kept away from the main bottle of ink and the alchemy experiment is just added to the perhaps also thickened ink in mini bottle to be used for dip pens... or, if the customer prefers their main bottle to be a shimmer ink from the outset, they can simply add the shimmer particle to it right away. Perhaps keep a mini bottle of the original ink aside in case a non shimmer small amount is needed, thus doing the reverse, but first perhaps a swatching session of your 'before' and 'after' shimmer addition Alchemy, and no doubt Endless social media fun posts out of it! 😀 🌳🖋 ✨🪄✒🧫📳
Druid's Glade - a green ink with blue sheen and teal shimmer. like a sunlit clearing with a creek running through.
Coming from a chemistry background, these are sooo tempting! Tiny 🎉 Erlenmeyer flasks! These I would keep on my desk even though I know all inks should be kept away from light. Thanks for sharing. They are already sold out at Canadian retailers.
I'd love to see a light blue ink with a pink sheen - my two favorite colors. It would look fantastic with the Benu Talisman Sakura Cherry Blossom pen I just bought! I'm super excited for it to arrive!
I think a fun addition to the Alchemy line would be another red shade with orange shimmer and name it after the scribe (rumored alchemist) Nicolas Flamel.
"Mage's Robe" deep shimmering purple 💜

Ohh, that's a good one
Call it Footprints in the Sand. The new color choice is staring right at us from your screen. Make the ink color the same as the giant prop pen on your left (viewer’s right) with a gold-bronze sheen. Glad I found you!
I love the safe saturation of these inks and would be excited to put them in my top tier precious fountain pens. With that being said and hopefully endless will still go with the alchemy theme/bottle etc. here are my suggestions... (1). Brujeria - a charcoal black (2). Ouija board - a dark brown (3). Incantation - an oxblood with a burgundy hue (4). Dia de los muertos - a marigold orange
Hi Tom, I think Endless should do a blue cromoshading ink called Scheherazade. So cool!!!
“Mermaid Scales” teal with shimmer of green.
I'd like to see an orange with some multi-colored shimmer in it. Maybe unicorn-themed with the name.
I was looking into how colours were made in medieval times and they would mix (cook) elements like sulphur and mercury to get bright reds. Not sure how possible it would be, but I’d love to see inks named as “basic” element inks that could be mixed together to create these prized colours.
I think a purple ink with green sheen and silver shimmer and call it "Midnight Violets" would be pretty cool! Thanks for the demos, Tom!
Deep crimson with a gold sheen called Dragon Fire.

Noodler's already has a Dragon's Fire (formerly Dragon's Napalm but someone got offended by a word).
This has so much potential! They can either make more variations of bold, sheen inks. Or! They can make ink that can be mixed! Like magic!
Thanks once more - as always a thorough and clearly presented review. I like that it is no fuss and dependable. I only wish you had a store in Australia.
This video is terrific and look forward to watching your other videos. I would like an ink that has components of different densities and will shade if you write on a slanted surface. Instead of the shading occurring on both sides of the stroke, it will shade more on the bottom of the stroke. A deep crimson with black onyx shading would be dramatic.
Beautiful bottle design. I would like to see a violet color with golden tints, and I would call it "Scholar's soul". Great video!
I would like to see an orange non shimmer. I will always love an orange ink and with their other offerings you can do slight mixes to create a wonderful array of writing colors. Thanks for the video.
I love the bottle and cork base. Such a unique idea for display!
Love the design elements of the glass and cork saucer. Testing the water with these color inks is a great start❤The next color would be a lime green with purple sheen and call it Aurora!
Candy Sea looks amazing with the purple tones it has in the shading or sheen, also very nice pen choices for the colors.
I would love to see a metallic grey shimmer. Really loving the options and making me excited to find things to write with these
I already have far too many inks, but I’m really rooting for Endless. Their Regalia paper has surpassed Tomoe River to become my favorite paper to write on.
I love the bottle design, looks great and cool, I would love to see a strong different color sheen ink, something like purple with orange sheen, or olive green with orange sheen, this could be great mixes and very different sheen colors
Thanks for the great vid. It has an ASMR quality to it that is relaxing to watch. I'm wondering if at some point they will make a set of colours that you can mix to create your own unique colours.
Great review. I’ve been seeing this ink come up on many of my feeds. Interesting stuff. Would like to see a permanent black ink for office use.
Love the bottles and the blue looks really interesting. Will surly give it a try.
Great video. Thank you, Tom. Perhaps Endless could consider making a brilliant turquoise ink with soft blue, green and pink shading and a lovely purple sheen. It could be called "Elixer of Immortality".
I feel like a mandrake green color would be super cool or maybe a phoenix red color that have hints of orange in it
I love the bottle design. Candy Sea is such a magical color.
Color suggestion is easy. A dark eggplant purple with green sheen and call it the Witch’s familiar. The bottle already looks like the Witch’s potion. Thanks!
Nice! Good review. Thanks! Immediately bought a bottle Mystic Forest 😊
I love the bottle design a lot! I think an orange would be awesome with a lot of red and even some yellow shading :)
I love these fantastic inks. I definitely want the Candy Sea one. Endless should make a medium blue ink with a yellow or gold sheen and call it Mercury's Gold. That would be an extraordinary color ink combination. Yeah, and I'd buy that too. 🙂
I would love a multishading ink. Or an ink that's pastel pink with a pastel blue shading. Just in general a line of inks that's all pastels with pastel shade. But still dark enough to be legible? I'm probably asking for too much there lol
Perhaps, in line with "Drops of Mars", "Dust of Jupiter" with dark grey with with orange shimmer?
I would love a medium dark pink with an orange sheen and call it ‘Sunset over the Mountain’. They could do a whole series of ‘mountain’ themed colors. Eg: blue for the sky, greens for trees & mosses, grey &/or black for rocks, etc.
I know it’s been done, but space themed names with a blue color and red highlights always catches my eye. Or maybe a blue base with a golden/ bronze shimmer would be cool too.
I love purplish blue inks the most. I do use burgundy and Forrest green inks also. It is difficult to choose a favorite.
I would love a medium, cool purple ink with some sheen!
Purple for sure (something to do with Royals, maybe King Arthur). The bottle reminds me of the Project Mercury Capsule with the retro rockets on the bottom heat shield.
They could make a high-gloss black and call it raven's wing.
I love the alchemical wizardly aesthetic of this collection, it really adds to the magic and mystery of writing with fountain pens on different papers. I would love to see a sepia toned ink with a lot of shading - maybe called something like 'Lost Tome" or "Grimoire"
I have been searching for a graphite colored ink. I just ordered Wizards Pencil. As far as writing instruments, a close second to my fountain pens is Blackwing 602 pencils. I would love to see Endless partner with Blackwing and create a dark graphite with silver undertone (that mimics the shade and sheen of the 602 pencil) and call it Mythical 602. Co-brand and package with a Blackwing 602 pencil.
I like the mystic sea, but I'm always down for more purples!
A deep yellow with silver shimmer would make a nice “Elvin Armor”. Especially if it sheens an orange.
Just curious as to why you expelled a couple of drops of ink on the piston fillers. I would like a dusty pink color and call it Blushing Princess. Thanks
@GoldspotPens
Ай бұрын
I usually do this to make sure I actually got enough ink into the pen. For piston-fill pens that don't have an ink window, it's harder to know if the ink successfully drew up in your pen.
"From the forest to see" would be my hope and dream for a new color - mixing a nice green with a blue sheen.
I’m South Australian and I’d love to see you look at the Robert Oster’s inks being unique to my home town
Oh, thank you. It was very interesting❤
I'd like to see a very dark blue with some red sheening. Lovely looking inks and definitely much better bottles than FWP is offering!
I like the bottle design. Would like to see a deep purple and a deep brown with a bronze sheen.
I love the Candy Sea and have used it in various pens. I would like to see a nice rich purple with a silver sheen called Elixir.
What about an opaque white for fountain pens? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing, but then I don't know that much about inks. I should think it might be a fairly challenging challenge.
Alchemy is based around research and studying notes to finally turn other items like lead into gold. It may be simple, but a deep, dark brown like a worn leather notebook cover with a hint of gold shimmer would catch my eye for sure!
That was a fun video! I'd like to see a dark orange with a gold sheen, called "Phoenix Rising".
I have tried karkos so far it's working well, I bought 1 oz for 1.90. no information like your bottles came with, I wish I did.
I want to see an orange with a shimmer. Maybe a sherbert color. That would be awesome!
Do y'all carry fountain pen ink by Octopus Fluids? It's been about ~2mths since I last searched, but I couldn't find them anywhere except on their website. They're a German-based company. Inks look freakin' sweet.
I would like to see a black with a subtle sheen to it that I could use at work.
Purple gray with gold sheen. Call it Stormfront.
Footprints in the Sand. Use the giant pen prop as a color/sheen guide. Sandy bronze ink with a rose gold sheen. Glad I found you!
I'm thinking of a medium to deep purple with a gold sheen entitled Patron's Cape.
Merlin’s purple! Love inks in the purple - blue zone!
I was doing some book-keeping so... I imagine something like a permanent black ink (or any other color) called "Chronos' Blessing" to symbolize that what you have written will stay for the future
I'm excited to give it a try.
I would love to see pearl aqua into like a yellow sheen
How about 'mysterious mountain' to go with the forest? Brown with a hint of red sheen and a blue and silver shimmer for the mountain sighted through sparkling mist?
Welcome to Endless and their Alchemy lineup! I guess a black ink with green sheen (and maybe some silvery shimmer) could be quite interesting. I suggest the name "Witch's Brew". Also, a nice brown / sepia with tons of shading would be nice. It could be called "Ancient mirror" or "Hourglass".
I love the bottle design and the ink collection name "Alchemy'. I'd love to see a brown ink with a bit of green sheen (and maybe even a tiny touch of gold shimmer) called Alchemist's Notes.
The next color should be a deep purple called Camelot. Enjoyed your presentation.
I would love to see a Frosty ink. Maybe it could have some light gray with a light blue hence hints. Called it Snow Queen. Btw this has been my favorite video so far. Thank you for doing it.
I think it is a, although gimmiky, solid start of inks from endless. I would either like a nice brown called ember (those get to little love), or a nice purple called mages hat.
I feel like they should make a beautiful lavender color....still saturated but not super dark. It would definitely be a good shading ink too :)
Purple with green sheen and silver shimmer called Witch’s brew
It would be nice to have an orange ink with bronze sheen 😃
Aurora Dance - A light Greenish Grey with a shading of light but bright Pink, with a little white gold shimmer for the Dancing. x Lovely review, thank u. love Allison XXX
I loved the blue ink, but my favorite inks are always blue. Personally the idea that appeals to me most off the top of my head is an ink that looks bright red but dries an ashy brown and is named after Abbé Faria.
It Will be nice to have a grey to silver color and call it some like selenite
I would like a black with silver shimmer called ashes to ashes, a bit more shamanic that witchy but I think it works
A dark blue-blk ink with orange sheen representing a candle at twilight could be popular for writers. Call it The Midnight Oil.
Thank you the informative video. Cool bottles! I would love to see a rich magenta with purple sheening and gold shimmer, “Transformed!”
I dig that Wizard’s pencil… very cool.
A reddish orange color with gold shimmer called “Aqua Regia”.
I’d love to see endless make an orange ink with an optional blue shimmer additive. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that combo.
May I ask how well does this inks flow?
@GoldspotPens
Ай бұрын
They all had average flow. I'd say the Candy Sea was a little bit drier than the other three due to the intense sheen.
Where is FWP made.??....i know it's "designed" in Canada...but id like to know the country of manufacturing for FWP. Ty
Do they have a black with a dark green sheen ?

The four colors you see in the video are the only four.
I would totally buy a deep black with gold shimmer. It can be called "Texas Tea". But until then I think I'm going to get the Candy Sea!
Great video. I've just ordered samples of these from a retailer here in Australia so I'm keen to see them 'in person'. A rich purple would be nice, and I'd call it FPPE. That's for Flying Purple People Eater. :)
I love all the inks!!! I would love to see "Brazen Head" after 13th Century Roger Bacon's work on Alchemy. It would be a dark intense orange with bronze shimmer, based on a cool myth.
Orange/pink with yellow gold sheening (if possible), maybe called "sunrise formula"
