This is going on gray sweatshirts. How many colors will it take to make it look great?
Thanks,

We could go as low as 5, pink, black, yellow, 2 whites...

if it's very light gray you might be able to eliminate the top white, but otherwise, I am with Steve!

Think pink and black would make that purple? I'd probably run this with purple instead of black and use the purple under the yellow to make the shadows on the rims.

I think I would use a dark muted purple instead of a black. Use that to achieve your dark tones of your other hues too.

I'm with Mimo and Ja Kay!
1Base, 2Purple, 3Bright yellow, 4Top white. (I' with Pierre and the grey tee determining if a top white is needed. This could give it a Vegas gold tone to it...but you could also print a Vegas looking gold if the budget permitted.
Most would also opt to have a halftone pink and a solid pink, but you could pull that off with one pink, by cutting back on your darkest point of the halftone pink...and printing it with two strokes. If I don't see a black in the art, I don't use a black. Use other colors to darken a color. Looks richer.

My monitor sees no real purple here, unless the lower right gradation, but I figured it inconsequential. If I were producing a ton of them, I'd just go for the extra colors to really nail it.
