Blue
Purple
Black
Pink
Rainbow
Green and Yellow Swirly
Sparkly Purple
Red and Silver (Finished)
I'm 99.99999% sure that this is the right order of colors. Just test to see which ingredients give you which color, and then add more in that pattern, until you finish.

Wrong. You need to sort of chart it out. First, figure out which ingredient will turn the potion blue at the beginning. Then purple. Keep going through the color sequence that gaterion posted, until you get to the end. If you mess up even once, you won't finish (though you can still experiment with the colors).
I tested my theory and it is correct. Here it is:
Every ingredient reacts to the color before it. If Bumroot changes to green if the mixture is blue, then blue -> green.
Every ingredient have a fixed reaction to the colors. You have to follow the color order.
I suggest finding out what each ingredient reacts with and to what.
For example: mine for the third phase for Bumroot:
Bumroot: red stays red if added, Black stays Black, Muticolored changes to Green/Orange swirl, and the G/O swirl changes to Dark Purple.
Everyone's ingredient reactions are different.
When you find out all of the reactions, just follow the path.
(Somehow I did Bumroot for all ingredients on the first phase and I got it right)

Looks like it. We've got the to be continued. And it hasn't failed as a stop point yet. So no reason to not believe it... Guess everyone's spoiled from all the work lately huh? Enjoy the break eh?
And yeah, it would be nice to curb the item-listing. We've seen enough to see it be random for each~

Actually, the first color change is green...
It doesnt have to be green, so long as you keep progressing through the color chart to the end.
And I'm done in forty minutes. Hurrah, hurrah! Thanks to the people who pointed out the colour progression.
Actually, third potion went Blue>Purple>Pink>Multicolour>Shiny Purple>RedSilver for me. I never managed to get black except the first time I attempted the potion, and I never had yellow green, either O.o

Well, whatever's working...I'm just glad the color order chart is helping so many people figure things out, even if it isn't 100% the same for everyone.
I think the order of the first four colors (red, green, blue) might be immaterial, as long as you figure out which one leads to purple, because after that they seem to change in a very linear fashion. Whenever I messed up and got set back steps it was always back to red green blue or purple.
As for botching the potionj and turning it black, it seems like you get three mistakes before it botches.
The order of mine was
RED --> GREEN --> BLUE --> PURPLE --> GREY --> PINK --> RAINBOW --> TEAL/YELLOW SWIRL --> PURPLE SPARKLE--> RED STREAKS
The 'not' list at the bottom I would clear every time I found the right ingredient to the potion. So the 'not's there are for what'll change it from the Deep Purple color to the finished form. XD;
I totally skipped the green/yellow swirl potion mix; in fact until I saw a picture of it here, I was unsure as to what everyone was talking about, my colors went: Red-->Blue-->Green-->Purple-->Black-->Pink-->Multi-->Sparkle-->Red/White

Again, you don't necessarily have to go through every single step. You may skip a few on the way, as long as you get through to the next color. As the walkthough said, you can add about 6 items for stage 1, 8 for stage 2, and 10 items for stage 3 before you get your black Start-Over! potion. You can make any number of mistakes before that.
