THE CHEMISTRY SERIES – our take on a collection of the essential colors of any writing ink collection.  These inks makeup a set of ‘simple’ colors, tasked with coloring the basic spectrum of pure colors.  These chemistry-themed inks were our first foray into the ink world, and have stuck with us ever since.  Our first four colors ever made included Carbon Black, Mercury Red, Cobalt Blue, and Manganese Blue/Black.  We expanded to include Uranium Green, Vanadium Violet, Arsenic Gray, Copper Turquoise, Sulfur Yellow, Nitrogen Vibrant Blue, and Lithium Violet.
