Colour, with a universe attached
Colorverse is an ink maker from Seoul whose colours come in numbered “seasons”, each telling a story about space. Space Laika is named for the Soviet dog who became the first animal to orbit the Earth; Supernova and Andromeda come from the Astrophysics season, the forces and galaxies that shape the universe; NGC 1850 is a star cluster photographed by the Hubble telescope, from the Eye on the Universe season. Three of the four are among Colorverse’s best sellers.
Why these four
Each ink shows a different thing ink can do. Space Laika is a well-behaved everyday colour. Supernova and Andromeda sheen — where the ink pools, a second colour glints on the surface, like the red over Supernova’s blue. NGC 1850 is a Glistening ink, carrying fine shimmer particles that catch the light. Use them in this order: the shimmer ink last, because it needs the most flushing afterwards.

Who is it For?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)
Can I buy the full bottles?
Yes — Space Laika, Supernova and Andromeda in 40ml, and NGC 1850 Glistening in 30ml.
Will these work in any fountain pen?
Yes. For NGC 1850, choose a pen with a medium nib or broader and flush it regularly, as with any shimmer ink.
Why can’t I see the sheen?
Sheen needs a wet line: try a broader nib, or swatch with a cotton bud or dip pen on the swatch cards or a coated paper such as Yupo.
