CPC Yellows (1 Viewer)

[Josh Kifer]

CPC yellow will always be the drama color. Yes, there is no blamo yellow, but I think people drastically forget that colors work off colors. Like @JeepologyOffroad said, using the correct colors with it, and correct color theory makes them totally usable. It takes time, alot of grinding on design work, and a sample color set. If you work with that you can, the possibilities even with this "limited" pallette is endless.

It's not always a easy answer, but I enjoy taking 8-10 months and the process to make it work. I think it makes you appreciate them more then slapping the keyboard until chips appear and shipping off a check.

It’s 2021 nearing 22’ there’s labs that can carbondate and tell you the exact composition of materials in a piece of diert! Surly you could send the palmas yellow off or have a computer project the colors and see what materials would be needed to create it without guessing or trial in error right ?

Lots of big $ in this group maybe they could do it for cpc?

Or they could just buy a casino in Bahamas , Rico, there out there and cheap with gaming licenses and get paulsons into the group that way I mean probably could make your investment up In real quick!

There are fully running casinos with licences for sale in NV for 500k. Yeah, they are in the middle of nowhere and yeah, you'll get stabbed. But... Chipiessssss

That's like a single group buy for chips...

It's a lot harder than you think. With a complex material like a CPC chip which is a mix of many different inorganic and organic compounds, you'd need to separate as many as possible and run each sample through a mass spectrometer to find out, and even then it might not tell you much about the relative quantities.

maybe just use spray paint or something, I dunno

For me the dayglo yellow is the most “yellow” once put with edge spots - it really pops - also there is no filler in the Dayglo colours - if you zoom in you can see how “dirty” the canary yellow on top looks - while the Dayglo is clean. Big for my OCD. Hope this helps. Why I went with bright white chips too over just white.

I added picture of Red chips - Arc Yellow is the edge spot - it pulls very orange imho.

Here’s a pic of the fracs I just got from CPC. Retro blue and Yellow

Is that yellow, or canary? My yellow base looks significantly darker. Granted the CPC yellow was what I was looking for, but still. This is Yellow with Canary in the edge spot.

Yellow. When you oil them they really pop.

I have a mass spectrometer and a Hyperspectral imager…

Just sayin’

Yellow and Dark Blue. Delish in my retro set.

What a killer inlay

Are the brass flakes totally necessary in canary yellow? I think the color would look much better without all the dirty looking specs of brass

Those are just imperfections that come across the board with a lot of CPC colors, not just Canary. The dayglo colors don’t have them usually though. I personally love the imperfections like that since each one is hand made. Gives them character.

Brass = weight

Unweighted colors (e.g., dayglos & retros) don’t have it.

I understand that. My question is why certain colors need to be weighted. Would canary be way too light if not weighted with brass or would it be the same as the dayglo colors?

I believe requesting weighted colors as unweighted was a thing at one point but no idea if that holds true today. I can't even remember where my memory is pulling that from. Maybe the info is in here somewhere. You could also verify with CPC as well.

Impossible to tell the difference in weight when they’re in hand IMO

I totally agree

The brass specs are only visible on the edge when new. After some use they disappear.

Adding brass to DG colors — It happened in the ASM Royal cardroom GB from about 10 Years ago. It was a bad idea then, still a bad idea today.

 

[Venturalvn]

It is odd to see these produced in the early/mid 2000s when I also had ASM set made using yellow back then, and the yellow then matches the yellow now. Those might have been the old ASM DG Yellow, which has changed significantly along with many other DG colors since ASM was changed to CPC.

Maybe that's what I am remembering.
