Hi Stephen,

Your proposal makes chooses Cool Blue and Warm Gray, and actually, those
two would probably be the best colors, but I don't think Warm Gray will
work with the light design… Basically, everything is better with dark
shirts.

There's actually no need per se for light shirt to be light, it's just
that the cleaner conservative design with the shovel image works best on
a light shirt.

I agree this is too much time and is frustrating. It would take a couple
more paragraphs for me to even discuss the options now.

QUESTION: Should we add the Warm Gray to the mockups specifically? Try
it with the light design?
