Thanks! I like that 500. Wonder if the 100 needs something else besides green in that case though

Retro Lavender is one of my favorite CPC colors, it really pops in person. It would make a great 500 chip.

Looks very good, but I’m kinda sold on my purple. Gonna mess around with the hundo to see if I can make @chipsncoffee ’s 500 fit better

I'm really glad you like the 500!!

Staying in level 1 and 2 will save a lot of money. Just playing around with the same colors and adding a spot progression:

You said there's green in the 100, but it's white with light blue and pink. Were you maybe talking about the 20 with the light green spots?

I like these better than anything in the OP. If I had to choose a lineup in the OP I would go with option #1. Overall they mostly seem boring.

Yes, that’s right. Too used to black 100s I guess

Care to share some thoughts on how to make them unboring? They’re not boring to me but it would certainly be interesting to get a whole different perspective. That’s kinda the point of posting them in the first place.

Well, to make it not boring, you'd for sure have to do this:

Not that they appear “boring” to me, but with all sets once there is an inlay in the mock ups they definitely come to life more.

I feel like we have all mocked up that exact same chip at some point. My daughter would love it... looks like unicorn poop. But who am I kidding, I would make that chip.
OP

That is certainly true. I have seen amazing complete mock-ups (with inlays) that I went to the tool with to recreate only to be dissappointed with how the look without the inlays.

And it’s only a level 9!

When I mock chips up I try to put something in there with the color scheme I am thinking of. Not that I have ordered any CPC sets yet, but I think I would probably design the inlay first the. Do the chipset. Curious what the order of operations is for others who have done sets before.

Yeah but if you are only ordering a barrel of your high denom you should swing for the fences!

I had similar thoughts to DD. It’s the best looking line up but the chip color combos have been used too many times. I can’t give you ideas on how to improve without giving away ideas for my possible future CPC set lol
OP
OP
yeah, in that sense I guess it’s a little boring maybe. To me a cali-set is very exotic though. Although I certainly see the point of trying to create something more unique. I love @Psypher1000 ’s 1/4 pie and @Josh Kifer ’s scrows but I don’t know. Maybe next set

I like the 5 and 20, very classy! The 1 and 100 looks a little dull though
I've found when building a set (and this doesn't mean it's correct, YMMV) make one chip that is done then slowly start building from there.
OP
OP
That makes sense. Here I knew every base color I wanted beforehand and tried to come up with spot progression and colors that worked well enough together. I guess your way makes it more likely you’ll end up with something more unique (clearly, your set is the nuts!)
I just did another too, and have found that when I focus on one then build around it, you get good results. Don't overthink it. Make the perfect 5 chip, then build the best 1 to go with it... Then expand... I'm happy to assist you in PM if you want someone to grind with. Always happy to help!
Making a great chip is almost easy if you have some experience and good taste (whatever that may mean to each person).
Making a great set is very hard. Being anchored on a chip or two may be productive or counter-productive. You might have to sacrifice the "great" chip in order for all of them to work together. Or not.
It's an emotional process anyway. No human being really needs poker chips to survive.

Nice and clean. I just don't like the 5. Why not red?

I have a thing for butterscotch, but I’ll try a red one
