Help me with colors on my heads up sets (1 Viewer)

[Ainton]

Okay guys, I know you will not stop me, so I ask for advice here

I have been a bit hungry for a heads up set, breakdown 40/40/20 of T5, T25 and T100

The backstory is that sometimes when I have my friend Mattias over, we sit and drink beer or coffee or whatever, somehow a deck of cards always ends up on the table. We play a little heads up now and then, so it would be fun to have a set for just this purpose, but it doesn’t end here. My stepson turns 8 this summer, we have only played a little 5 Card draw to this point, just keeping score with pen and paper, not mixed in any chips yet.

But it's time now, so the idea was 2 heads up sets, and I have fallen into BrPro, for 3 reasons. The availability, prices and their colorful and fun designs, I lean towards 2 different sets, tiki and DDLM, but are a bit lost on which colors I should use, (yes they will be semicustom) do you have any suggestions?

Some of my suggestions seen below in pictures, from left to right T5, T25, T100
I don’t want white, I think it’s a bit boring in a 3 color set, and I don’t want the red, I just don’t like the design

Just going after design/colors here are my favorites:

DDLM: yellow/pink/blue (25ct)
Tiki: orange/green/blue

There are enough "standard" color sets, just go for what looks cool and takes advantage of the bright and fun ceramics.

Thanks for the input, standard colors isn’t a choice here

+1, and I think DDLM over Tiki is an easy choice. Not to complicate matters, but what about:

I know you would prefer DDLM over tiki

CC is not an option, I just don't like them

I also found these bad boys in the closet, if I’ll go with them I have to get the edges lined up

?

Alright my mind have been at this the entire afternoon.

DDLM: pink and yellow will definitely be in the mix, I might just order these and use the barrel of black 100 I already have from another unfinished project

TIKI: Blue is here to stay, I just have to figure out the rest

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

If tiki blue is here to stay, strongly onsider orange as well. Those colors are awesome together.

 

[CarlosStorm]

I agree with DDLM pink, yellow and black, easy option

Orange is in

That'd work, but if aiming for a colorful set I think the blue goes very well with the pink and yellow!

Here's a thought: Just go for one head's up set with the tikis, then buy a complete DDLM MTT set with bounties, rebuys, the works! You'll get ALL those beautiful colors!!

I knew it was a bad idea to ask you guys

 

[Mr Winberg]

Thank you for talking some sense into me

No worries, mate!

 

[Mr Winberg]

I think the blue goes very well with the pink and yellow!

Here's a T2k stack of pink T5, yellow T25, and blue T100. The pink is 47mm and the others 43. I think this combo is the bomb! Sadly I'll never really see it at home since I chose the pink as the resurrection chip due to a bunch of other considerations.

Wow that looks amazing, I think we have a winner

To each their own, but since I'm no fan of a T5 base I would personally have done a T25 base, e.g. yellow 25, blue 100 and pink 500.

Or, to get another color, a T100 base: Blue 100, purple 500, yellow 1000 and pink 5000. Since it's just a ×2 jump between two of the denoms, a fourth is needed! Meaning more colors!!
Example: 200 BBs means 40k stacks: 20/6/15/4 (or whatever floats your boat)

If you need more convincing. Yellow, pink and blue is the only answer. I miss these now I’m looking at them again

 

[Mr Winberg]

You used less than a thousand words, while a picture...well, you know how the saying goes

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

I don't own those chips so nothing more I could do to show him the light.

Yeah, as if i wasn't already convinced
