hey what's up guys in today's video
we're going to be taking a look at print
on demand design specifically we're
going to be taking a look at the most
popular print on demand color scheme now
can i say that officially probably not
but i did take a long hard look at the
best-selling designs today and of course
this marks a single day in time this
could change in the future but as of
right around uh today this week this
month
the color scheme i'm going to show you
and i've actually you know what i can't
help myself i have two versions of it
but i'm going to show you two versions
of what i think is the most popular
print on demand color scheme i'm going
to give you the hex color codes that you
should absolutely save
and i'm going to show you how i can
utilize this color scheme to take a
plain boring
all white design meant to be displayed
on a black t-shirt and make it look a
little bit nicer so let's get started
[Music]
real quick reminder i have some free
resources for you in the description
i've got my weekly print on demand
giveaway i've got my seven day merch by
amazon mini course and i've got my merch
by amazon facebook group so make sure
you check all of those out they should
be linked at the top of the description
all right so we're talking about color
today
and this is something that i find myself
talking a lot about when i'm doing like
shop critiques whether it's my saturday
red bubble shop reviews or my etsy shop
reviews but
it's not it's not all the time right but
it's not uncommon for me to
look at people's designs and say things
like okay you have the color red in your
design
look at your primary thumbnail you're
displaying it against a black t-shirt
and that
hue of red
doesn't necessarily display really well
against a black t-shirt perhaps choose a
different
you know shade of red and this is again
a common mistake so if you're watching
this video right now don't just take
this to heart mentally uh write it down
or write down the color scheme at least
and label it like red or you could label
it like red looks good against black
because if you can just fix these little
things
i think collectively we're all going to
increase our sales over time um and it's
not you know this is obviously
subjective of course but like i swear
some of these colors do better than
others in today's video we're just going
to be looking at some of the best
sellers here so behind me we see
three best-selling uh t-shirts from
merch by amazon um none of them are
really in the same niche yet you can see
how they are utilizing well they're
utilizing a kind of
round uh design layout
even though it's three different niches
and then they're also utilizing very
similar color schemes uh if i recall i
think these are all from the top like 25
uh best selling maybe it's maybe it's
like 30. um best-selling t-shirts right
now on merch by amazon and t-shirts and
tank tops
so what you see here
are a uh well a red but not just any red
one that looks good against black
an orange
a yellow
a light blue kind of greenish blue teal
aqua blue maybe
and then like a vanilla creamy
do i say white i don't know can we just
call that cream
and of course i'm gonna put all these
hex color codes for you in the
description so you can just copy paste
them and label them something so you can
find them in the future
you don't have to use them exactly as
they are here but just make a note that
you know you can call coincidence if you
want to but i'd say all three of these
designs behind me have a very similar
color scheme when all is said and done
and either great minds think alike or
maybe just maybe
people are borrowing these ideas from
each other
all right and then one more color scheme
i wanted to show you here
very similar to the one we just looked
at i would even dare say that these are
almost like variations of each other but
i went ahead and i lumped these three
designs that are also from about the top
30 or top 30 something
t-shirts right now on merch by amazon
and
while this one has sort of the red
orange yellow blue white or cream
this one just has four primary colors in
the scheme it's got the like burnt
orange slash reddish orange
then kind of like the creamy
yellowy creamy uh color then it's got
the bluish like light blue and then it's
got the yellow okay and of course just
for you oh by the way just take a notice
that they're all three different color
schemes um worth remembering that they
are also doing something similar to the
previous three designs they all have
that round
design style
so maybe make a note of that that a the
cust customers are voting with their
dollars here it's not like every single
best seller is designed in a round
design style but many of them are so hey
if customers are signaling to us
that this is what they want this is what
they like then we should take note of
that and consider it when we're creating
our next design batch
and here we go as far as the hex color
codes we have the burnt orange slash
oranges red i don't know what to call it
i just call it orange red maybe uh then
we got the you know cream
the blue and the yellow okay so i'm
gonna have this in the description as
well
and please just save it somewhere i like
to use google keep i also use notepad
plus plus
and between those two i always have kind
of backups you know they say two is one
one is none so in technology you wanna
have at least two copies of something
because if you only have one and your
computer craps out or something like
that you're screwed at least when i use
google keep it's like it's like the
equivalent of apple notes for people who
use apple uh it gets backed up to the
cloud so then i know it's not really
going anywhere even if my computer
cracks out so anyways guys that is it
for today's video oh no i forgot i did
this so i made a quick design as you can
see here text only you can see i did
just white text here but when i go ahead
and i apply the color scheme that we
were just looking at a second ago that's
this is color scheme number two
you can see that it is just popping off
the screen it it looks so good against
that black background this is exactly
what i mean it's not that you only can
offer a black shirt but what do
customers see when they search they see
the primary thumbnail the primary
thumbnail we
nine times out of ten are only
displaying the design against one color
shirt and let's just make sure that our
design when we design it is gonna pop
and look amazing against at least the
color shirt that we're going to display
in the primary thumbnail
that way we get the click after they get
the click they're looking at our listing
just ours not our competitors if they
want to buy another color who cares we
get paid either way
hopefully you follow what i'm saying
here uh and then here it is uh the first
color scheme that we looked at of course
it has the fifth color code so i had to
add an extra line of text eat sleep
design repeat repeated uh but it looks
amazing looks great so definitely guys
uh if you i mean if you agree subjective
you can also disagree let me know in the
comments below if you want to share any
of your favorite hex color codes with me
you can either do it in the comments you
can email them to me too if you want to
keep it just between us i would
appreciate that i like to look uh myself
can't can't promise i won't keep it for
myself though if i really like it so
also i just remembered i've got a couple
other videos that i've recorded on
youtube previously where i cover similar
topics i don't think i ever tried to
crown one
color scheme as the best so i saved that
one for today but if you want to look at
some other really popular
hex color codes color palettes that go
together well definitely check out uh
the two videos at least that i will link
in the description that i've done that
are very similar so i have this one from
just like a week ago where i showed a
color palette generator that's really
cool because i mean it generates all
these complementary colors for you
on the fly extremely quickly for free
what's not to love and then this other
video here where i went through and
studied some of the um best-selling hex
color codes from popular designs like
for instance the one behind us is
straight out of the disney studios um
not saying that you should sell any
disney shirts but i'm just saying hey
like someone i'm assuming the designer
probably works for disney uh could be
wrong but either way they designed a
disney shirt that was green lit by the
intellectual property holders that is
being sold through merch by amazon so i
go and i say hey this guy probably knows
what he's doing study those hex color
codes i think there's more like lion
king here um thor so a bunch of really
fun color codes some of them get crazy
here there's probably like 10 colors
behind me but definitely check out these
videos i will link to them in the
description anyways guys thank you for
