I could do that with gold and red discharge. 2 color, wet on wet.

I wish I could see the prints better. I like the idea. I've used grey as an underbase, but I'm afraid of using any color because I feel like the colors on top don't "pop" as much. I had a customer return some shirts because the red ink wasn't "red" enough. I had to go back and using lower mesh screens to get it to pop the way he wanted. Good info.

I think the point in this post is to take notice of the potential opportunities to use other colors rather than the normal Base white. I think a post generating a discussion like this is invaluable. I use gray's a good amount of the time. I'd much rather use gray than white, but I am excited to be reminded to take it a bit further and try something different. Granted, it's got to fit the art. Don't try a red underbase for spits n giggles. LOL.

Indeed. I think many designs can be done w/ this approach - take the predominant light color as the underbase and overlay the darker colors over it.

Elf,
How the hell are ya? Very nice idea. Would like to see a picture of the print pellon or a shirt?
I'm constantly working with customers who want a distressed or vintage look, but yet want bright colors. To me, if you want to keep that look consistent wouldn't you want to eliminate an underbase all together?
