Default Best t-shirt colors

If you could only stock a few colors what would they be?

Default Re: Best t-shirt colors

black, white, certain greys,(there are many shades), and bark. but may depend on your country and target market, and design. same design on another color will not do as well. i suspect there is some sort of harmonic between design and color.

Don't forget to also consider that you might need an extra pass (screen) or underbase (dtg) with darker colors. Perhaps that might come into play (cost).

We mostly sell black, navy, and grey...but that's in men's shirts. For women, we sell many white, navy, pink and yellow.
