Default Transfer for light and dark shirts

Has anyone ever tried to use a light transfer on a dark shirt? If so what was the outcome after the shirt had been washed?

But technically, there are some cases where you could use a light transfer paper to print on say a dark blue shirt. I have also printed black text on red shirts (considered as dark?) using light laser transfers.

Tried this too, but some colors of the design do fade in the shirt and some "pop" out more.

Better safe with transfer papers for darks though.
