With my game now pretty established, I'm poking at a custom tourney set to complement my custom cash set. This is an early mockup, and looking for feedback.

Inlays are just a placeholder (one of the early designs that was toyed around with for the cash chips) but I do want to go with a black inlay, and brighter colors to balance out the dark logo and go for a different look than my cash set. Thoughts about the colors/progressions?

Nice spot progression. Totally a fan of black inlays here too.
The DG Green and DG peacock chips definitely need some more contrast: Dark or Retro Green edges for the former, Retro Blue main edges for the latter.
Maybe the DG Peach would benefit from some extra contrast too, with darker versions of its edge colors.
The DG Pink is very sweet - in order not to repeat Retro Blue edges (which I recommend for the next chip, the DG Peacock), you could try Blurple ones for that.
On the beautiful Blurple chip, I might stick with just 2 alternating edge colours, but that's me and it's not my set:D
 
The Black and DG Peach chips are my favorites from your lineup. These give me the best vibe for the Cuba theme.
The Black one might work even better with Maroon as body color. Think tobacco.

The Blurple 3DSTA316 from your first post looks good at first glance but something just weirds me out about the color balance. Maybe it's because two of the three double spots are fairly "cold" while one is very "warm", and the warm one is not positioned in balance in relation to the inlay. (-> rotate spot pattern so the Canary/DG Arc Yellow block is either top center or bottom center)

Rest feels a bit generic.

The shaped inlays will absolutely not look good in any way with the white circle on the inlay. I'd either stick to round inlays on all denoms or drop the white circle.
 
Latest version much better, but that black chip still stands out like a sore thumb. Just too dark, with low-contrast spots. Eithe lighten up the spots, or consider changing the base to charcoal. But as-is, it just doesn't fit in.

This 100%. Change the base to a charcoal or light gray and you have a winner.
 
Stronger spot colors on charcoal base gets my vote.
 
So got my samples out. Charcoal kinda blends with the light blue, and gray sorta does as well. So I was poking at the darker colors and was thinking chocolate may actually go well with some louder spots - thoughts?

Personally I’m not loving the spot colours on that brown base.

Wouldn’t you be better off making both of the green and brown chips the cheaper and thicker 16 spot pattern, rather than the more expensive 18 thinner version of the pattern.
 
I'm feeling lost on this chip now. Maybe one of the reds as the base instead? How much heresy is that for a T100?
 
I think it’s the black inlay on the black chip that demands really light colors on the edgespots. Stick with black, but really lighten up the spots. Maybe use the dayglo colors or white/ bright white/ or gray.

Before you lock in your colors, buy a sample set. You don't want to base your decision on how the color combinations look online.
 
I have one. That's why I went back on the charcoal and light gray suggestions as they looked too blendy with the light blue to me.
 
I'd actually stick with brown instead of black - pulls it a bit out of the ordinary.
But @sir bluffs alot is right. Despite being dayglo, the spots are a tad too dark in combination with the black inlay. Brightening up the spots is all it takes to make the chip look better.
