What colour setup do I need to be able to do this please?

I've got corel, photoshop and inkscape to use for colours etc.

I thought about doing it in vinyl, but want to try it in colours as I could put the same thing on a mug as a tshirt, and really need both these colours on the mug.

Thanks :D

If you go to the top of the colour bar where it tells you what pallette you are using, right click , then choose edit there is a find colour option

I've just added an attachment, doesn't look as good in a file as it does on a mug :D

Don't suppose silver can be done that way?

Chrome can be done I think but silver isnt in the pallet.
