<div align=justify>You may already have a logo or design in mind; however, when that design goes into the realm of embroidery, it may be necessary to make some slight modifications in the color department. Here is a look at what colors are available and how many colors should be used. <BR><I><BR>Stock Colors.</I> Most embroiderers have about thirty to sixty stock colors available. These include typical colors including varying hues of primary and secondary colors. <BR><I><BR>Pantone Colors.</I> Pantone colors are custom created colors that come in thousands of hues. It would be impossible for any embroiderer to offer all Pantone colors; however, most companies can provide color matching for a small fee. <BR><I><BR>How many colors?</I> For an effective and affordable embroidered logo, it is best to have only two or three colors. The more colors in a logo, the more times the needle must pick up and change colors. <BR><I><BR>Color Blending.</I> <A href="http://www.embroideryauthority.com/logo_tips.htm">Color Blending</A> and gradient patterns are not easily obtained in embroidery. If a logo contains gradient patterns, it is best to focus on two or three colors from the pattern to include in the logo. <BR><BR></div>
