All Black Base Set (5 Viewers)

[Chanchan720]

I have talked to a few people about doing an all black base set. I have seen some posts in the past about it. And the concern has always been dirty stacking.

What do y'all think about these mockups? I tried to add enough color and spot variations that it cut through.

is it a limit set? if not you be crazy

It’s just not a good idea

Plus a lot of table Felt is black base as well, you will need to provide a bright / white table topper as well whenever you bring it as a guest set too

Just because it would be dirty or because you don't like it? Or both?

Would you put a white background inlay on it?

You should buy a small set from BRPro first, live with it for 6 months, then give us an update

I guess I don't see how it's THAT much different than GPI Elites

Black! That's the whole point!
Either black with large colored numbers or colored inlays to match

Black chips are my favorite base. I just feel like no matter how much you try to undirty these you’ll still be inviting disaster if that makes sense.

Yeah you're probably right...an all black set just sounds so cool

Play limit?

Play limit?

I don't think I'd do it as a limit set...although that is an intriguing option. I might need to burn a few hours playing around with that idea

base colour changes, spots stay they same.

you are proposing the opposite which its vastly different even though it may not feel that way

As a card carrying member of the TEAM BLACK DOLLAR I have say no.
Focus instead of making the black chip being the most used chip maybe?

Yeah I know...my brain wants it to work out

Where do I join and get a card?

 

[ArielVer18]

A local host uses these chips. They're decent for the price, but visually confusing

Even worst idea than "Hard Candy Mafia"

It's a spiritual card.

OH. Not from the FILM HARD CANDY.

 

[Eriks]

Sorry but it’s a horrible idea. Imagine looking at a big pot of these and trying to estimate how much is there. Bunch of different colors, all against a black background

Not sure if serious, but to respond to this: these GPIs are predominantly all a different color base with the common thread between them being smaller white spots, making the consistent color less present than the base and allowing each chip to stand out, particularly if you get into a dirty stack situation. What you've shown so far is more of the opposite: you've done the "mostly base color, smaller spots" except you flipped the percentage each is visible in the designs, and by making all the base the same you've made black far more predominant on every chip.

Here's a 2 minute idea of what might work better using a consistent black base but LOTS of color spotting (which makes the black almost more of a spot on some of them). Even with something like this, it's probably a bad idea, but as always, YDY.
