Black goop can be changed back to pink by adding red. I was able to skip black in my final solution. I don't think it is necessary at all actually.
There is a difference between the black goop (which is the overflow, and tells you to start over,) and the black-which-is-actually-grey potion.
Also, you can skip steps, not all steps are necessary. You can skip pink, or grey, or any other step possible (I skipped green
and grey in my final sequence) as long as you get to a color further along that is correct.

To all those still having trouble. Make sure you know what ingredients change things red, green, and blue. From there find your first purple (red > green > blue > green = purple). One of your ingredients will be a "revert" as in will likely screw up any sequence. Mine happened to be the Bronze Sansam. It was completely unnecessary.
I don't know about yours, anjuna, but mine didn't occur that way. When I added the "green" ingredient to rainbow it continued on to the green swirly, and again to the sparkly purple. An ingredient might not always revert your potion, either, I think.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember right from previous splits and the potion-making thread, the final combination of ingredients does not matter. Different ingredients can get you to the same color, what's important is that you get the the color you're looking for.
Yes, the black potion I referred to in my earlier post is the one in the sequence, not at the end of mixing the incorrect ingredients, obviously. If it is grey to you, fine. It still looks pretty black to me, although maybe not as black as the final goop looks from mixing the wrong ingredients.
If you read carefully through my post, notice I was referring to the
first purple. I noticed that when I went from the starting red then clicked ingredients that would have made 'green' > 'blue' > 'green' next, that instead this particular sequence changed my cauldron to the (first) purple.
I know that some stages can be skipped. I also posted that, too. I didn't need to make black. (I DID need to make green at the beginning, I could not skip ahead to blue like some others mentioned.) But if I accidentally made black I knew I could change it to pink by adding my 'red' ingredient. And yes, the final combination of ingredients does not matter. Only the color progression. It might be true that my 'revert' ingredient would not ALWAYS have reverted my potion, but once was enough for me.
I certainly wasn't going to take more chances at guessing when I already knew that 3 of my ingredients made a predictable red, green, or blue. And the other 2 were either unnecessary and/or too unreliable.
Sorry if my earlier post confused anyone. I am pretty sure once one figures out what makes red, green, and blue it is easy breezy from there. This step may have been easier for some than others, but I definitely needed to jot down on paper what additions made what color changes for the last stage of the potion making. But there definitely is a color logic.
