The launch deal Kickstarter tier for the Endless Phantom came with a free 45ml bottle of ink, so I opted for Molten Bronze since I don't have any browns.

It's pretty nice, some shading and though it doesn't really sheen there is some green that comes through if enough ink goes down. Very "earthy". Chromatography has a lot going on, too, as does the microscope image.

In an EF nib it's mostly just a nice medium brown. All good to me!

Photo of two ink swatch cards and a chromatography strip. Both cards have text reading "Endless Alchemy Molten Bronze" followed by an X and curlicue in a stub and EF nib width. Overall the ink is a medium brown with some shading to a darker hue. The top card is an Iroful swatch card with an outline of a paint palette. Inside the palette is mostly filled in with swirls of brown ink. Areas with less ink are lighter brown, areas with more ink have a little gray tone to them. The bottom is a Col-O-Ring swatch card. It has a large vaguely circular blob of even dark brown ink. The chromatography strip starts sort of a light gray with a slight red tint, then changes to very bright magenta, then a little clear, then yellow, and finally cyan.

Microscope photo of ink on the Iroful swatch card. On the left it is light brown overall, but looking closer it is almost blue-gray tone with coppery color ink the paper fibers. On the right it is much darker brown with some hints of blue-gray gray between the fibers. The area where the two sides meet is a dark but shiny metallic green.
