CPC Base Color Question (1 Viewer)

[Darthhoodie]

I was considering using retro red, dayglo peacock, and dayglo arc yellow as base colors for a small cash set. How light do these feel in comparison to the regular colors with brass flakes in them. I have a color sample but I cant get a good read on it. I like the look but if they feel too unsubstantial i will be disappointed. Looking for people who have used dayglo colors as a base to give me their opinion. Thanks in advance.

Personally, I think the cosmetic value of the unweighted colors significantly trumps the weight issue. And it's two-fold -- unweighted colors are brighter, and don't have the brass flakes that tarnish and darken on the rolling edges. Win-win, in my book.

The weight difference is insignificant imo, unless you are comparing them to non-CPC products.

If you make shuffle stacks of the unweighted and weighted chips then that should give you an idea, but it sounds like you've answered it yourself. I notice a difference but maybe you don't.

Glad to here that, I was thinking the same thing, looking to go simple with the spots but I want to pop with the base colors and the dayglo colors do that so much better than the regular colors. I didn't notice much difference in my color sample with shuffling them around, but the stack of 14 dayglo colors weighed in at 121g and a stack of 14 regular colors weighed in at 128g, so in my sample there is an average of about 0.5g per chip difference. Not sure if this is typical or if mold and color have an effect but I can live with it. Thanks for the help.

I have both weighted and DG base colors in my HHR custom tourney set, in any random blind "pick 'em" test I can't tell the difference in stacks. I weighed them once, there was about a 5g difference between a barrel of 20 chips, that's something like a 3% difference in weight. Insignificant IMHO.

I'd call that pretty insignificant.
