Agreed... DG Saturn should be at the bottom with about 20 clear spacers between it and the next color... that next color should not be dk blue.

I have done many mock-ups of this. It is really difficult for me because blurple and maroon are two of my favorite CPC colors. I don't think that I could actually order a set full of unweighted chips. Maybe a tourney set where each chip uses only two colors.For brass-flake haters, it would be interesting to offer a set exclusively using "unweighed" colors, ie chosing among all Retros, all DGs and Bright White.
Nice exercise
This is my exact struggle trying to put together my set with all 1/4 pies. Would a 1/4 with half weighted and half non-weighted be/look/feel weird?
What about a mix of some chips with only DG and some with DG and weighted? It’s hard to get a feel for it with only the sample chips.
It's surprising how you can feel a difference in them. It's not major, but it's something.
I love them all
When I mocked mine up I'm trying to use all weighted chip bases and weighted edge spots, and vice versa for non weighted .

DG Saturn by far one of the worst base colors around. Don’t recall chips I’ve liked that had a DG Saturn base

OK, I read the whole thread and still don't see how colors could be considered useful or not useful.
I can see some being better or worse for a particular use.
sumbudy splain it to me like im 3

The closest I ever got to DG Saturn in a set was in the cpc design tool. I used the color for a spot to make some very nice combos with the main chip color.
....THEN, I looked at the same colors among my sample chips and trashed the entire idea because saturn in reality looks awful.
Thus the axiom: Always get samples...

Just imagine how nice they'd be if he used DG Yellow instead
I dunno these look pretty nice to me.

DG Saturn gets the bad rap but have you seen a DG Orange chip? Or even a DG Orange spotJust imagine how nice they'd be if he used DG Yellow instead

The DG Saturn chips look, feel, and sound like cheap plastic. They're probably not even made from the same composite material as all the other chips. They have a bit of translucence to them. They also change color drastically in different lights. They're more like puke green in person. An almost see-through puke green.
I've ordered DG Saturn chips myself. I tried to convince myself that I liked them. That only lasted so long though. The new DG Yellow is awesome though! You definitely want DG Yellow if you're looking for a brighter yellow. It's much better than it used to be (which was more of a butter yellow in the past).

People like certain colors and dislike others.

I see. How does that affect usefulness?
sorry. a 3 yr old would probably chew on that for a day before asking
People try to only use colors they like when designing chips.

OK, I'm not trying to be obtuse, so I won't post the definition of "usefulness"

Useful can be slightly different than just which color is the best. If there is a color which is very close, the usefulness goes down. Imperial blue is fantastic...but DG Peacock is right there. Usefulness requires the context of the entire palette

DG Saturn is useful because it helps to narrow down one's choices from 38 colors to 37.
All the colours can be useful. Complements and contrasts between two or three or more colours in a chip can lead to all sorts of chip design happiness.
I'll be using standard weighted colours for my base chips but will try to use dayglo colours liberally in the edge spots when my Casino Royale design comes through. Still fairly far in the future, though.

Dg Saturn and dg orange. Both colors are meh but it’s the fact they are translucent that irks me the most. When used as spots they have this weird effect and make the chip look like plastic.
Agreed.

If you think it looks like platic when used for edge spots, you should see a rack of them used as base colors!
My DG Saturns vs my DG Yellows...
Yup. It's such a good color on the maker, but it does not translate at all.If you think it looks like platic when used for edge spots, you should see a rack of them used as base colors!

I tried and tried and cannot honestly identify any texture difference. Since you have some, run a quick test. Blind shuffle 50/50, half DG Saturn, half some other unweighted color. needs to be same mold obviously.
See if you can sort them, blind, with any sort of accuracy.
Now this is prime Content. BLIND COLOR SHUFFLING.
The sad part is.... I'm interested on the results!
