Bright or more subdued for tournament set? (1 Viewer)

Lighter:

Brighter:

 

[Payback]

Brighter proves more contrast so that's the clear winner in my book.

I like the bright but would caution against both black and blurple in the set set next to each other. It would have dirty stack potential.

CPC Orange and yellow are not bright. Saturated maybe, but pretty dark.

Have you though about dayglo colors?

Exactly what i was going to say.

 

[krafticus]

Making the 500 DG peacock would look great.

Prefer the brighter, but agree that blurple and black, especially with the same color spots, could be too similar.

Let's muddy the waters: Light green and lavender from the top set; black and yellow from the bottom set.

[mummel]

same thought.. just replace the gray chip from the bright set with the black one and you're good to go

 

[RowdyRawhide]

here is my contribution for bright..... a black spot set and bright white spot (its bright)

 

[Jeff]

Bright white spots makes the chips hella extra expensive.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I have a long history of bold, "poppy" colors, so my vote goes there.

However, these guys seem to prefer the lighter,

so I guess this is one of those "personal preference" things.

Bright white spots makes the chips hella extra expensive.

Hmmmm i thought they just upcharged when using it for the body color, didn't realize for spots too. did that change at some point

When has that stopped you from making an awesome chip...?

 

[TheBigTater]

I'd take the black from the bottom set and move it to the top set, good to go.

Interesting reverse spot progression you got going on there.

I'm starting to think this is an interesting idea. I just like canary better than yellow. The lavender will contrast more with the black. I want the colors to win the day and use simple white spots so you can count stacks. I considered a normal spot progression that made progressively more complicated spots, but I want the chips to be about the colors, not the spots. The spots are just there to help count stacks.

 

[Jeff]

the reverse spot progression also supports highlighting the colors on the higher denom chips too. Also sort of like the field of the tourney, fewer players playing with fewer spots.

 

[slisk250]

Exhibit A for comparing contrast - light green, black lavender, canary/pink, white, imp blue

I payed extra for bright white edge spots on my cash set. I'm not sure of the history behind that.

From CPC's current pricing on bright white, from their website:

The nature of real clay chips dictates that no color can be guaranteed to be free of all impurities. Bright White is inherently difficult to work with as it gets contaminated so easily. It therefore carries a premium of 53c a chip, regardless of chip style, for either body or spot color. Bright White edge spots with more noticeable (but still slight) impurities are available for no premium.

Easy decision for me if they were my chips: no premium for edge spots with more noticeable but still slight impurities.

And just to confirm the above, my custom set has Bright White with "noticeable but slight impurities" edge spots in the T2000 chip and there was no extra premium cost added.

Brighter gets my vote too!
