$1 - Blue or White (1 Viewer)

[Chip1525]

This may have been done before, but just curious what current PCF opinion dictates for the humble $1 chip (or Euro, Pound, whatever base unit you use in your neck of the degenerate woods).

Keeping it simple, so excluding black, mint green and other non-standard pr0nographic shades from the poll. Sorry Ash St!

 

[Silver_Fiend]

either is good and widely used.

I have always been on the white $1 gravy train. Then I started my Vegas house mold set and went with blue Flamingo's and blue Bally's and have not looked back since. Something about a blue $1 chip thats appealing on the table. Either lighter flamingo blue or go dark blue like the Mirage and Park MGM

 

[Papasatyr]

For me, it depends upon the set. I do, however, prefer my blue $1's to be a light or powder blue, as opposed to a darker or navy blue.

 

[ChipTalker]

either or both, having an ALT other $1 color is sometimes a relatively inexpensive way to freshen up a set by swapping between blue and white 1's.

 

[grebe]

Either is good, but I gave the nod to blue, because white $100's are appealing to me.

However, blue $10s are also very sexy....so then white.

Both are nice. That means two sets minimum

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

If you chose white, you’re a racist.

Ha! Nice. I agree this is true of both are gorgeous. Top priority should be making it awesome. Color choice should be secondary to what looks good. But yeah, when they're both awesome go with both!

 

[Nanook]

I like both, but I prefer blue

Peach FTW

In a vacuum I'd say Blue but there are plenty of colors that can work for $1s depending on the rest of the set.

I know I’m new to the game, but I drool over these!

 

[codeman00]

I personally like colored chips vs white chips...mainly because they show dirt as much as white chips do. For this reason, I will also pick a blue $1 over any white.

Both can be very beautiful, but blue gets my vote.
After all, if not as $1 (or the very rare and set-specific $10), what other use can you have for blue? And I can't imagine a set without a blue chip.
White, on the other hand, even when very beautiful, gets dirty at not time as workhorse chip. I 'd prefer it as top value chip, with the least use.

That said, I have one set with a blue $1, one with a white $1, and one with a white T100

I always prefer more colorful chips to colorless ones. Blue is a color while white is the absence of color. I find chips with a color as a foundation rather than a lack of color more appealing. Blue all the way! Plus, Cali colors are fantastic.

white is the absence of color

Physics-wise, white is all colors combined, while black is the absence of colors (of light, to start with).

 

[madforpancakes]

Blue chips are less obviously dirty than white chips, so blue chips for me.

True, in physics. But in art it's the opposite. And I view poker chip aesthetics as art.

Beat me to it!

Art is not immune to the laws of physical science.

Blue.

Easily #TeamBlueDollar, white shows dirt too easily.

 

[churlbut18]

I agree... it really depends on the set... I have 4 sets with a $1 chip, 2 have a blue $1 and 2 have a white $1... in one of the sets with the white $1, the $20 is blue...

 

[SiouxperStack]

Always blue!

I think my 1s are a different color in every set I have lol.

Where are all of the team black dollar people?

[TM7zzzz]

We should do a top 10 from worst to best color to choose for 1s.

 

[Dugthefish]

Blue. White shows more dirt.

 

[CrazyEddie]

Depends on my mood.
