Frac colors (1 Viewer)

[ThrowBack]

I’m stil trying to put together my cheap home game set and now finding myself needing smaller fracs for fixed games.

What colors are you using for nickels and dimes? Is there a standard?

Not really a standard color but I've seen white or grey alot. Works good if you have blue 1s.

Blue $1s but white .25s

Whatever you want as long as it's distinct from the .25, $1, and $5 chips you are likely to have in play at the same time.

Blue 1, yellow or orange .25, and white or grey dime/nickel

I would only use white for a 1 or 100, nothing else

If I had white quarters and blue 1’s, I’d probably go for yellow nickels, assuming your 5’s are red.

red $5s, green $25s?

As long as there are contrast differences between adjacent denoms, you're probably good.

White and blue chips tend to be easily available and harvestable, and therefore a good start for conversion.

Others like to use non-denominated solids like Starbursts so they can use as is and define the value as they need on any given night.

There's a whole wide world out there....

I hear blue may be a California thing? Really, what it comes down to is this “poker club” was started buy rookies who never play at a real place and the chip count we had it worked better to have blue dollars, then original regulars got stuck in their way

It should make you horrified to know that when we do need a few, greens play as $20s, because we don’t carry $25 bills, though I would go with yellows $20s if I found some

You are willing to go one denom more than me.

My attitude has always been that you’ll probably my only have 3 or 4 denoms on the table at once, so you want those colors as distinct as possible. So if you have red $5s, no pink fracs. But it don’t think there are any standard colors for fracs.

I prefer the California standard, blue 1, yellow 5, black 20, purple 25, white 100

I added edge spotless hot pink relabeled to be dimes to the standard grey quarters in the samurai palace set.

There is no wrong answer. Find what you like and use them however you want; it is your game do what looks good to you.

I use Paris 1's as our quarters.

I’ve incorporated pink in my custom .50 chips that got for blackjack and now use for .50/1 NLHE. I did that originally because in AC $2.50 chips to pay blackjack were pink.
