Frequently Asked Questions
Why two mid greys — 461 and 462?
They sit a hair apart in undertone, and at embroidery density that hair shows — one blends with cool-grey garments, the other with warm. Test both against the fabric; whichever recedes wins.
What is Safety Yellow for?
High-visibility workwear embroidery — logos and lettering on hi-vis vests and jackets that must match ANSI-adjacent garment colours — plus sports and hunting designs. It's a specialist colour with steady commercial demand.
Where do greys matter most in embroidery?
Outline and shadow work — grey outlines soften designs that black would harden — plus metal, stone, and animal-fur elements, and logo work on grey garments. A light-mid-pewter trio covers most of it.
