Hi everyone, here's my 2 cents: I would really like to advocate for two colors. (It costs nothing extra) It seems that all discussion of the "Snowdrift colors" is centered on colors that were picked for the website. It seems logical that cool colors were chose, given the "snow" theme, but I bet that if you looked at the actual humans who made all the original color decisions, they are people that actually look good in cool colors. We all have a innate preference for colors that suit our physical colors and personality temperaments. This is true even if you are not aware of it and couldn't tell a cool color from a dark color if your life depended on it. Any color can be cool or warm, it depends on undertones and shadings.
If you'd like to read a treatise on the subject check out: http://monoskop.org/images/4/46/Itten_Johannes_The_Elements_of_Color.pdf So my final suggestion is that we go with the light grey shirt with dark blue ink AND the warm grey shirt with white ink. I think that's a good compromise. They are both light, and the warm grey would be harmonious with all your other colors. I believe that warm grey is strong enough to stand up to the white ink and show well. I suggest white because none of your blues are warm (most blues aren't), and some people just don't wear blue! Would one of you like to mock up the warm grey with white logo? Another point I'd like to throw in is that in general, I don't think girls like t-shirts with stiff ink on the back (it feels yucky) and I think the shirt would look fantastic with just the logo on the front. But I care far less about this point than I do about giving your people with warm coloring something that they will actually keep and wear. Diana P.S. I've heard back from the shirt company, and I can put together a price for you guys by Monday.
