Blurple is always good.

I still use green for $20 and $25. Each game is different so it doesn't bother me to have both greens. 
Team pink $20 !

Option 1 for me in this case.

Any color not already in use but personally I’d go with black, yellow or orange.
I've got to do a set with a blurple chip. I agree a $20 in that color would look good.
They’re value chips that shouldn’t see much table time, so it can be anything. I do like the yellow pop with the blue Paris chips, though.

I have a yellow $20 but still confused why you would want to give someone a single chip as a buy-in

Yes, if you want $20 chips for the novelty of having them go for it. But from a real life practical standpoint it makes little to no difference ($20vs$25)
In the last few nights I’ve come across a video where a member here says $20 chips are nice because people cash in for $20 bill. Maybe that’s where it’s coming from. I don’t see the practical logic.
If a player is buying in for $300 or less I’m giving them $5 chips. I’ll continue to give out $5s for reloads until I run out (which is rare in $1/2 or less). If I do, like I said before, I usually buy back $5s from the big stacks with my $25s

I definitely use yellow twenties. Brown and white are also good choices (white of course assuming you are #TeamBlueDollar).
Would discourage the use of green just it case it would cause confusion with casino regulars that use a 25 dollar chip.
That said, just have 6 racks of fives and you don't have to worry about it

I went with yellow with purple "spots" as you see in my picture at the left. #Skol

FWIW, Bellagio currently uses orange twenties. I believe they get used in high limit games (80/160), and possibly in higher NL games (5-10).

I’ve been practicing tiles on a solver, curious if bellagio tiles table uses them also since it’s 5% commission similar to bacc
Can beat house splitting strategy consistently and think I’m down to 1% house edge maybe less

Perhaps, I know 80/160 for a fact because my brother used to play in that game at Bellagio. Last time I was there, I thought I saw the 20s in play on a 5-10NL game, but I couldn't swear to it.
It sounds like you're using blue 1, red 5, so yes yellow 20 and black 100 is standard Vegas colors, but you could, and I'm just spit balling here, go Blue, Red, Black, White! to have all the fun.
I'd just stick to a standard Cali set, blue, yellow, black, white
Problem with white hundo is I’ve already got a white frac. Thinking of changing to a brighter color eventually….

Well this is interesting, there are obviously some Bellagio vloggers out there.
Looks like it's the 10-20 games that uses mostly 20s and 100s.
The 5-10 games seem to use 10s
10s and 20s kind of look alike.

Personally I think white fracs are the worst, Only 1s and 100s should be white, okay I've seen a few 500s I really like but very rare.
I have yellow fracs and blaze 5s in a set that I like, and I have orange fracs with blue 1s and yellow 5s that I also enjoy
We have the same issue, whites are our fracs
We stuck with red fives and that’s how we ended up with blue dollars, it was not a California thing, but a byproduct of the number of chips. The original group had when we met up. So many of the casual players have gotten used to it there’s no way we would change up now, although a good looking bright quarter would be the bees knees
For those who care we ended up with blue dollars, red fives and black 20s should it ever come up.
I agree, and took the advice of everyone above, and ordered another few racks of reds so the 20s will be special event rare anyway.
With so many red workhorse chips, and having our fracs still, we have over $2000 in value worth of chips so we should be able to play our smallest 50 Cent games all the way up to a full table of 1/2$
It sure isn’t a special set, but it feels good for our little club to have a complete set

Holy cow... Those are great reproductions. I thought they were real for a sec.
that was my plan, and i loved my $20, but i ended up abandoning it for a blurple $25 (ignore the fracs, i replaced those too).
i'm never giving someone a $20 chip for a $20 bill anyway, so that point is moot to me.

White chips are the worst, they just show dirt and wear more than other colors. Maybe not so bad on a higher value chip that gets seldom used.
But I’ll quickly give them a $20 bill for a $20 chip when cashing out.

I'd use any color you like and which look good with the other denomination chips you use. If you assume a $20 chip is a non-standard casino chip (and I have no idea if that is true or not in poker rooms), then why do you have to avoid casino chip colors that are typically linked to other denominations? I'm not sure I understand your groups reasoning on needing a $20 chip. My group plays $10-$20 limit, but we don't use a $20 chip. We use $5, $10 and $25 denominated chips.
