I think
CPC’s red’s and blues are their strong color options.

I would actually argue that
CPC is missing a vibrant blue that's between the spectrum of light blue and DG Peacock in their arsenal that would really make some kickass chips. DG Peacock is a great color, but something close to an aqua or blue grain would force me to remake a DG Peacock chip that I already have in the queue.
Retro red is one of their best colors, I agree with that. Their oranges are relatively strong as well. The difference between blaze orange and DG Tiger isn't
huge, and DG Tiger is an excellent color in it's own right. I would rank things like this in terms of
CPC colors:
Strong:
Reds
Oranges (especially DG Tiger, Peach, and arc yellow, all close to their Paulson counterparts)
Purples/Blurple (the latter being one of my favorite
CPC colors)
Whites (Bright White is really close to Paulson's white)
Ok:
Greys, they tow the line of being strong relative to Paulson, but they're just ok due to having only two options instead of four that Paulson offers
Blues
Black
Greens (missing a strong sherbet greenish and pale green or indian blue option, but DG Green and light green are decent)
Browns, though I'm not a fan, of the colors or the football team
Weak:
Yellows (though better lately in seeing their most recent DG Yellow offering, but still not close to Paulson Yellow or Canary
Pinks (DG Pink is decent, but not close to Mexican Rose or Hot Pink)
Ironically, two weak colors relative to Paulson options (DG Yellow and DG Pink) together offers one of
CPC's best color combinations, IMO.
