Default Color clash?

Ok guys, need some help if possible. Has anyone ever used spectracut II or thermoflex plus kelly green on a safety green shirt? I don't have any kelly green to sample it on a safety green shirt, but a client is wanting to get some shirts and put the kelly green onto safety green shirts. I personally think it will be hard to see the kelly green "vinyl" on a safety green shirt and wondering if anyone has any they can "hold up" to a safety green shirt and let me know how it looks.




Thanks
David

Do you have a pantone chart you can use? That may help.

I would think they would be hard to see too. I've done kelly green shirts, but never with green vinyl.

no samples handy but,

if the safety green means like a neon type green, then yes the kelly green is darker and will stand out some but not as much as Black for example.

T-bot, yes it is a neon type green that you see construction/road workers wear. I thought kelly green was a "lighter" green. I have forrest green at the store and it shows up nicely on it. But he said "I'd really like to try that green", referring to the kelly green. I hate to order it and get stuck with it if it's too light. I am thinking of letting the client know that I cannot return it once it's ordered and if he is not satisfied with it then he still "bought" it.

Kelly green is a popular color, you will not get stuck with it.

the 'kelly green' spectra and thermo......aren't really - they are a deeper green and it will show up on the safety green - i did the kelly green on a lime green shirt a few years back - it hurt to look at it, but it did show up
