Flying Spaghetti Monster CPC Mockups (1 Viewer)

The mono is definitely working with the theme. I was thinking maybe the higher denoms should have a wider color variance but in wasn't really working when I tried the chip tool.

So I think the way to go is that as the denoms increase, the spots become narrower and more frequent, as if depicting a wave increasing in frequency. I'm just not really feeling the 1/4 on the hundred if you go with 1/8's on the 25.

I like the quarter as a 112 better than the pie. I'd go with quarter 112 and maybe save the pie for the 100 and then a bunch of 1/8's on top of it perhaps?

I'm torn between 614 and 4DSA316. I think both look really good with either color, however the hundo with the 614 reminds me of a movie (I think California Split, where they had 614 black n yellow hundos)

I think I'm too cool for 112 now that I've broken the L2 threshold. :cool:
I like that the quarter is a quarter pie. The only other option for my quarter is if it was 212+ or maybe a 1TA316 (three strips in a lone edge spot). But then I'd have to change the rest of the spots.
 
FTW.

I've seen this hundo in another custom set. Can't place it atm. Not to say my $5 isn't a rip off of the BCC Grand Cardroom 25k.

Saw the Black Cat CPC tourney set and saw a yellow and possibly butterscotch quarter pie 25 so thinking of 212'ing my fractional and put the quarter pie back on the $25.

Toby's 25¢ is yellow and pink.

Deja vu 25c is DG yellow and yellow quarter pie. IIRC

Given the other color combos I think maroon would work better than red, or possibly change mandarin to retro red as the base

It's strange how different the reds appear in the Chip Tool, vs real life. I got my CPC color samples and was oddly surprised to see that Red is actually red and that Mandarin is orangy dark red.

Also, it says on the Chip Tool that Retro Red is unweighted but my sample appears to have brass throughout it. Further to that, my Red (is perfectly red, but doesn't appear to have brass). Mislabeled perhaps:? I didn't get them directly from CPC.

I might go with Red with Retro and DG Pink edges. Was looking for inspiration from the Gallery and that cranberry BCC GCR 25k really caught my eye. I'd love to try n replicate that but there are no cranberry like colors. Retro red is rusty looking, which might work. I'll keep messin.

I'd say mis labeled. Retro red definitely has no brass flakes.

IMO mandarin red is more of a normal red. Red is darker.
 
If you can upload a photo and I'll see if I can confirm.

This 100%.

I've been looking a lot at the Red and Manarin Red recently and this is spot on.

It's our monitors (and graphics cards.) They actually aren't capable of reproducing every physical hue, and different monitors accent different parts of the spectrum differently.

Professional designers spend a lot of money on better displays and calibration tools to get the color match on screen to look like the real printed /manufactured item, but it's never prefect... And the "best" image will still look different on various consumer displays.

I would definitely agree that those are mislabeled. RR is unweighted without brass which to my eye is a "redder" red than the the others, MR is the next closest and RED does have an orangish brown quality to it compared to the other two. However, when RED is next to other colors it is red, the other two are just "redder/brighter". If that makes sense. Do have samples of people's customs where you can go back and check the colors they used verses the samples. Hope this helps

What color is the $5 in link's Rounders replicas? The one in the raffle. I have a sample of those.

In the same order as above.

The one on the left has no brass and is as red as red gets imo. It has no brass flakes though so it's likely retro red. Chip in the middle looks brownish orange on edge but on it's face it's more reddish orange. It's very close to the same color as dg orange. I guess it's likely mandarin red since it's since it's orangy and the color reference in the resources section shows mandarin red looking very close to dg orange. Last is a dark red that would look brown at first glance. It must be red since it's the darkest of the bunch, which matches up with the color reference resource.

Wow, that pic came out bad. Looks a little washed out on the monitor.

While the subject of the samples is broached: Is anyone else totally disappointed by the DG Orange?
My sample seems more brown orange than dayglo.

I think this might be the final edges.

Colors I'm concerned about are the $1 dark edge, where I'm leaning towards dark blue as it is almost black. I think I like that.

$5 looks like the Retro red doesn't contrast much with red, but it really does in reality.

$25 base color of green, in certain lighting, is similar to imperial blue which is the base color for the $1. This made me think of using dark green for the base color of the $25 but it wasn't much different. Was thinking of going with just Blue as the base for the $1 but that color is still dark and doesn't seem to contrast well with the dark blue edge. I'm hesitant to go with Peacock as the base color as they recommend not using non-weighted colors for base colors, plus it's the only sample I don't have. Thoughts?
 
I wouldn't worry about using dg as a base color. Done plenty of times with no issues.
 
I would suggest this.

As most chips seem to have a mid color with a lighter and darker spot I would use maroon instead of retro red on the $5. (Plus even though it looks like there will be enough contrast I'm not convinced.)

Then use the chacoal $100 which follows the mid base, lighter and darker spot.
