Well, I've been tie-dying for about 5 years now, off and on, and I've been using the same 6 colours all along -- the 3 mandatory ones, turquoise, fuchsia and yellow, plus a purple that I like some of the time, orange which is one of my favourite colours of all time, and a green that mostly leaves me unsatisfied. But I just recently added an additional "colour" to my palette, and that is white!
I'm not a trained artist, I have been learning by trial and error about colour through this tie-dying thing I'm doing. I used to say that I couldn't even draw stick people in proportion, that's how terrible I was at art. But here I am, basically middle-aged, enjoying the discussion of colour. Who'd a thunk it?
So I intentionally didn't saturate a heart tie-dyed shirt, and it has a very interesting pattern of colours on it, with lots of white patches, and I'm very pleased with it. Plus, it's already sold, to a colleague, for one of her grandchildren, so cool.
