I agree with this assessment of DG Saturn in principal but OP did mention they have a colour sample so they would know what it looks like in real life. DG Saturn works well with greens and grays so I think that chip would look good. Whether it works with the set... that I'm not sure as I don't have my colour samples anymore.
You can limit yourself to level 4 or less and still get great looking chips. All of my set are level 3 or 4:
If you decide to return to a set with all the same edge spot pattern, I would generally not recommend DS like the T5K above. I'd prefer something like the 614 on the right or the 4V style in the middle.

I think I will try to design a prototype inlay this evening to get a better idea of what the chips could look like.

Tbh, the fact that I got a color sample set doesn't help me that much. I still find it hard to imagine the chip with it.
What exactly are you having difficulty imagining?

Of course I can hold the chips together for getting an idea of the combination. But something in me thinks, that the colors in the edge spots maybe can look different. Maybe it's an personal problem.
The first thing I do is just look at my base colours to see if I like how they fit together. When trying to see how the spot colours will look with a base color I like to stack them (with base colour on top) and look at them at a 3/4 view so that I can see most of the base color and then the spot colours:
In my example above I was comparing an older colour sample to what I received as CPC had brightened up the DG colours several years ago... but hopefully you get the idea.

When I get of work today, I'll grab my samples and try a little bit.
As I bought them used and they're a little bit dirty, how can I clean them best?

How many tables your set shall cover ?
Note that to get 7 different chips you'll need to order at least 700 chips. So only relevant for 2 tables set.
Also, for a 2 table set, the T100,000 is useless if you start with a T25 (even if you start with T25 in fact).

Sure, anyone that can make a good looking chip with a dg saturn base has my respect. I’ve only seen one I really liked.

The higher denoms are just a thing that I want, even though I might not need them. Just can't help my self wanting them
I'm all ready calculating 700-800 chips.
At the moment, my tournament has 7to8 players. I want to have enough chips to serve maybe two or three tables, if that's ever happen.
For the most part it's just this "I want to have" thing.

Here's a post by @BGinGA that should help you with a nice breakdown.The higher denoms are just a thing that I want, even though I might not need them. Just can't help my self wanting them

The one I sent you on PM the other day, right?
I was initially curious to see this until I saw @Eriks reaction to your post.
The same way with how most wash their hands... with warm soapy water and then dry them. Once dry you can put a dab of mineral oil on the rolling edges only to bring out the colours.
I didn't think it was that bad!
(I've gone through about 25 variations since this though...)
That's the problem... it looks so yellow on the screen but reality is different.

Cleaned them. So far, so good.

You gotta loan these to me at some point. I'm in a design frenzy right now and need to check my (probably poor) decisions.Now that I cleaned my color samples I see, why everyone is hating saturn that much
I don’t hate DG Saturn. I wouldn't use it as a base colour, but I certainly don't hate it.

After trying out combos with the color sample set I updated the chips.
I think I've made some major improvements:
The 1k, 5k, 25k and 100k were just fine.
This is what the hundo would look like:
I think it could still seem different on photo, so feel free to grab your sample set and tell me what you think.
This is the best I came up with for the 500:
There yould be no dirty stack issues due to the edge spot progression, the edge spot colors and the base colors I chose:
