    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...

    • @davidjimenezlopez
      @davidjimenezlopez 7 месяцев назад +11

      I'd buy that ink.

      Yup

    • @cardinalhamneggs5253
      @cardinalhamneggs5253 6 месяцев назад +3

      It should be named after Nicholas Flamel or some other famous alchemist, or even the Philosopher’s Stone.

    @davidjimenezlopez 7 месяцев назад +141

    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.

      LOLZ!

    • @christineg8151
      @christineg8151 6 месяцев назад +5

      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...

  • @gregcooper8466
    @gregcooper8466 7 месяцев назад +127

    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".

    • @thomask1424
      @thomask1424 7 месяцев назад +8

      It exists already - Cross Violet, purple with green sheen.

      Dragon scale oil

  • @AnInkGuy
    @AnInkGuy 7 месяцев назад +54

    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.

    • @mwGoosman
      @mwGoosman 6 месяцев назад +3

      Great idea!

    • @PinkWytchBytch

      And a bright shading red to serve as the philosophers stone

  • @apocalypse_frau
    @apocalypse_frau 7 месяцев назад +38

    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?

  • @rodrigogbarrazag
    @rodrigogbarrazag 7 месяцев назад +21

    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".

  • @acttinium
    @acttinium 7 месяцев назад +16

    Druid's Glade - a green ink with blue sheen and teal shimmer. like a sunlit clearing with a creek running through.

  • @eddiecandelaria8691
    @eddiecandelaria8691 7 месяцев назад +8

    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

  • @ApacheBee
    @ApacheBee 7 месяцев назад +11

    Orange color with purple/blue shimmer and call it Star Fire or Night of Flames 😍

  • @annienigro4624
    @annienigro4624 7 месяцев назад +12

    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.

  • @LittleDogsHouseholdStaff
    @LittleDogsHouseholdStaff 7 месяцев назад +11

    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.

  • @JP10192
    @JP10192 6 месяцев назад +8

    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!

  • @lindabourne8327
    @lindabourne8327 6 месяцев назад +4

    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!

  • @adcary2008
    @adcary2008 7 месяцев назад +18

    "Mage's Robe" deep shimmering purple 💜

  • @lanesniderchannel

    I'd like to see an orange with some multi-colored shimmer in it. Maybe unicorn-themed with the name.

  • @BooksForever
    @BooksForever 7 месяцев назад +1

    A dark blue-blk ink with orange sheen representing a candle at twilight could be popular for writers. Call it The Midnight Oil.

  • @adistractedplanner
    @adistractedplanner 7 месяцев назад +7

    Deep crimson with a gold sheen called Dragon Fire.

    • @Dosbomber
      @Dosbomber 7 месяцев назад

      Noodler's already has a Dragon's Fire (formerly Dragon's Napalm but someone got offended by a word).

  • @CasperThe_Cat

    “Mermaid Scales” teal with shimmer of green.

  • @nickklett
    @nickklett 7 месяцев назад +3

    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!

  • @onetruetroy
    @onetruetroy 7 месяцев назад +3

    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.

  • @claytonsanders508
    @claytonsanders508 7 месяцев назад +3

    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.

  • @reenathomas4922
    @reenathomas4922 7 месяцев назад +5

    Hi Tom, I think Endless should do a blue cromoshading ink called Scheherazade. So cool!!!

  • @ChooseToDo
    @ChooseToDo 7 месяцев назад +5

    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.

  • @luigig6256
    @luigig6256 6 месяцев назад +2

    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.

  • @sweets6806
    @sweets6806 7 месяцев назад +1

    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!

  • @FountPenGuy
    @FountPenGuy 7 месяцев назад +1

    I feel like a mandrake green color would be super cool or maybe a phoenix red color that have hints of orange in it

  • @cynthiaalvarado8610
    @cynthiaalvarado8610 7 месяцев назад +2

    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!

  • @oldemajicks9428
    @oldemajicks9428 6 месяцев назад +3

    In this 25 minute video about 4 different inks, there are 3 minutes of footage of what the ink looks like when used.

  • @cwardinger
    @cwardinger 7 месяцев назад +2

    Perhaps, in line with "Drops of Mars", "Dust of Jupiter" with dark grey with with orange shimmer?

  •  7 месяцев назад +1

    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

  • @eddiecandelaria8691
    @eddiecandelaria8691 7 месяцев назад +1

    I have more!!!
    (5). Dante's inferno - a red orange like Apache sunset
    (6). La llorona - a light blue
    (7). The bottomless pit - a deep black like aurora or platinum
    (8). Baba yaga - sea moss green.
    (9). Santeria - an antique yellow
    (10). Cucuy - a blue/ black
    (11). Necronomicon - sepia

  • @FriedPi-mc5yt
    @FriedPi-mc5yt 7 месяцев назад +1

    A deep yellow with silver shimmer would make a nice “Elvin Armor”. Especially if it sheens an orange.

  • @aesales9248
    @aesales9248 7 месяцев назад +1

    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. 🙂

  • @sethraz044
    @sethraz044 7 месяцев назад +1

    Beautiful bottle design. I would like to see a violet color with golden tints, and I would call it "Scholar's soul". Great video!

  • @def1ghi
    @def1ghi 7 месяцев назад +2

    They could make a high-gloss black and call it raven's wing.

  • @stanloona000
    @stanloona000 7 месяцев назад +1

    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

  • @dr.d723
    @dr.d723 7 месяцев назад +2

    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".

  • @moonlover1313
    @moonlover1313 7 месяцев назад

    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!

  • @mebpratt859
    @mebpratt859 7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @LuisBorba
    @LuisBorba 7 месяцев назад +1

    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.

  • @ritamcgregor9103
    @ritamcgregor9103 4 месяца назад

    Absolutely would love to see a turquoise! The depth they could get would probably be magical!
    Was impressed by the new bottle shape. :)

  • @jannahlyon
    @jannahlyon 7 месяцев назад

    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"

  • @twisteddyekitchenmyfiberjo4577
    @twisteddyekitchenmyfiberjo4577 7 месяцев назад +1

    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!

  • @TaskmasterWilco-X
    @TaskmasterWilco-X 7 месяцев назад +1

    A reddish orange color with gold shimmer called “Aqua Regia”.

  • @EyeKahnography

    I would love to see a metallic grey shimmer. Really loving the options and making me excited to find things to write with these

  • @asterholland9081
    @asterholland9081 5 месяцев назад

    Since it's alchemy a name spinning gold/ turning gold. A slight shimmery golden yellow color, or philosophers stone- a ruby red shade with a glittering gold shimmer.

  • @liamflorentine902
    @liamflorentine902 7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @samanthanicholson9015

  • @johnamoroso271
    @johnamoroso271 6 месяцев назад

    We have the red and it's a good red for our use. The next color could be black with a strong silver sheen.

  • @micheletrentini3187
    @micheletrentini3187 7 месяцев назад

    Nice selection of inks, but I would never use shimmer/glitter inks in pens I cannot fully disassemble. Too afraid of clogging the feed.

  • @moondoggie1987
    @moondoggie1987 6 месяцев назад

    Candy Sea looks amazing with the purple tones it has in the shading or sheen, also very nice pen choices for the colors.

  • @EvanTemchin
    @EvanTemchin 7 месяцев назад

    "From the forest to see" would be my hope and dream for a new color - mixing a nice green with a blue sheen.

  • @acynicalgirl
    @acynicalgirl 7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @user-xt4jy6qq6e
    @user-xt4jy6qq6e 7 месяцев назад

    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?

    Teal with a pink/purple sheen called Dragon's Eye, or a Black-Brown with red sheen called Wand of Flame.

  • @nixternal
    @nixternal 7 месяцев назад +1

    I really like the colors they did and the bottle on the desk would be cool and like you fun to mess with & not get any work done. Without a doubt, a Gold or Silver, or Gold with Silver sheen or Silver with a Gold sheen and it has to be called "Philosopher's Stone" (Dangit, I see someone already posted the name, nerds! :) oh well, I'm keeping it!)

  • @hoosierulangler6965
    @hoosierulangler6965 7 месяцев назад +1

    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.

  • @blushandwink

  • @edwardrutledge2765
    @edwardrutledge2765 7 месяцев назад +1

    I love some of the FWP colors, not shimmer however, and the 20ml bottle I truly hate. I’m curious about the Endless offerings, the grey looking mist interesting. You guys have leverage with ink manufacturers, let them know this buyer loves SHADING inks with wide mouth bottles…like Wearingeul packages their inks.

  • @aolster3198
    @aolster3198 6 месяцев назад

    Contest is likely completed, but my suggestion would have been a bronzey brown - Antique Amber - to suggest aged ink.

  • @christopheradcock4626
    @christopheradcock4626 6 месяцев назад

    Well, it's late - but I would like to see an in from them that slowly oxidizes to a much different color while not being hard on the pen.

  • @marjoriemarlowe8978
    @marjoriemarlowe8978 7 месяцев назад

    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
      @GoldspotPens  7 месяцев назад +1

      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.

  • @anjejg777
    @anjejg777 6 месяцев назад

  • @Ross1950art
    @Ross1950art 7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @jpanthony
    @jpanthony 7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @lindabourne8327
    @lindabourne8327 6 месяцев назад

    “Cinderella” - make it a lovely rose pink that has the baby blue shimmer of her ball gown.

  • @poeticpolecat
    @poeticpolecat 7 месяцев назад

    May be impractical, but if it is alchemy, perhaps an ink that is one color if you let it settle and another if you shake it up and invoke the shimmer. Turn brown into gold by activating so much shimmer your pen almost chokes on it. "Pauper to Prince"

  • @NicolasParraQuimbay
    @NicolasParraQuimbay 7 месяцев назад +2

    Next Endless Alchemy color could be black with silver sheen and be calles Snow white, or a Red ink with green sheen Called Smaug´s gold or Dragon´s Gold, or Emerald green ink with Sort of cobalt blue sheen called LochNess Palace, this is way too fun, I should stop now 😅

  • @dpaint6268

  • @cc_likesknives

    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 :)

  • @differentkindofGEKE
    @differentkindofGEKE 7 месяцев назад

    Sheening turquoise called Aqua Vitae (water of life) or Fountain of Youth. A gold-orange shading ink called Aqua Regia (acid that dissolves gold) and means royal/king’s water.

    How about a (permanent/pigment?) black with a little silver shimmer called obsidian shores.

  • @kofs79
    @kofs79 7 месяцев назад

    Alchemy has always made me thinking of a wizard brewing up a magical potion in the dark for cover. I would love a new moon sky black with some kind of Fluorescent sheen to give a magical touch. Read in the light and for those who dare to brave the dark, a universe full of treasure awaits on the same pages somehow transformed in the dark.

  • @mjwalicki3495
    @mjwalicki3495 7 месяцев назад

    Two ideas for ink colors:
    I would like to see a classic blue ink with pale aqua shimmer and name it Blue Hawaii or something that refers to tropical waters.
    I know blue is a perennial favorite but I am actually one of the rare people that loves red. My ultimate ink would be a combination of red & black and name it Campfire Ashes.

  • @scubabeegl

  • @chanco03

    The next Alchemy color would be an intense clear Orange with yellow shimmer and I should call "Dragon´s Tears"

  • @bestattitude
    @bestattitude 7 месяцев назад

    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".

  • @muncker3
    @muncker3 7 месяцев назад

    The next color should be a color to match the ikkaku lan-yue, something like a nice blackish ink with a blue sheen and silver shimmer. And if possible a waterproof ink. I don't know about ink chemistry and whether or not you can achieve all those characteristics in one ink, so the color of the ink is more important. I want a good matching ink for my pen and I would love to see what endless could cook up, I'm giving them full creative freedom on the color:)

  • @witchyvicar

  • @mortisd28

  • @ash16lily23

  • @barryporter6993
    @barryporter6993 7 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @Koreleine
    @Koreleine 4 месяца назад

    I think when you can spin the bottles so well, they definately need to make some shimmering inks.
