Pick a shirt color above to see which design colors work best
White, light gray, and pink shirts work best with dark or saturated designs. Dark text and graphics create maximum contrast.
Black, navy, and dark gray shirts need bright, light, or neon designs to stand out. White is the go-to safe choice.
A sunset photo on white prints beautifully. The same photo on navy may look muddy. Match photo brightness to shirt color.
Blue designs on blue shirts disappear. Red on red, gray on gray — always choose design colors from a different part of the spectrum.
White, yellow, hot pink, and neon designs look best on black. Avoid any dark colors — they'll blend into the fabric. High contrast is everything.
It depends on the photo. Bright, light-toned photos look great. Dark or shadowy images will blend into the shirt. When in doubt, choose a lighter shirt color for photo prints.
White or light gray are best for colorful illustrations since they don't compete with the design. Any color in the illustration will reproduce accurately against a neutral background.
The HiTee App previews your design on the selected shirt color before you order, so you can see how it'll look. The app automatically optimizes the print for your chosen shirt.
