Does anyone have a custom bright white (main color) chip from CPC they could post an image of? I’m trying to see what it looks like compared to standard white and if it’s worth the $.50 premium.
Thanks!
Thanks!

worth the upgrade if you aren’t ordering a very large amount of them! So much brighter of a color.
And regular for comparison. But these are older ASM for reference.

White with peacock, bright white with purple...

Wow ok I’m sold thanks everyone.
Totally worth it
It's certainly worth the premium if you 've already established yourself as Host Nazi
Which means: All @ssholes (sorry: players) should wash their hands after dinner break, to keep the white really bright
The bright whites you see here have already been re-denominated T100, waiting for their T500 Lavender siblings
The DG Peach w Retro Blue ones will remain un-denominated, ready to serve as either 1K or 2K.
If playing with minors, farmers and other hard-to-manage population, I 'd stick with filthy plain non-bright white

Some gorgeous sets here!! Thanks everyone!
I think if you are doing a a retro themed set, or antique looking set, white works better. @Mr Tree used white on his hundred, and it is perfect. Bright white on his set would be out of place. I think it all depends on your other base colors and inlay.
That being said, bright white is a must if you have other DG base colors and you want white

More bright white goodness
The brass flakes in the regular white will be very visible on the edges. Too much so for my tastes.
Bright is the way to go:

It sounds like you don't have a CPC colour sample set otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question. So the correct answer is... get samples!
Can bright white be ordered as the base color without the upcharge? Or would it be too dirty, so CPC refuses to do it?
I don't understand this question.

No... bright white as base colour comes with upcharge. Only bright white edgespots come without upcharge unless you specify you want the really good bright white.
It had been a while since I read the CPC page. I was going from memory, and it was unclear to me. I wasn't sure if bright white could be used as the base without the upcharge, or if that only applies to edgespots.
From their site:
Bright White is inherently difficult to work with as it gets contaminated so easily. It therefore carries a premium of 53c a chip, regardless of chip style, for either body or spot color.

Bright White edge spots with more noticeable/visible (but still slight/only minor) impurities are available for no premium.

And the way this is worded makes it sound like you have to ask for this but CPC assumes you want the less expensive bright white option.
I looked at some pictures from the old custom chips thread and saw some white chips that over time had gotten transfer from their spot colors (darker colors like brown/black, etc).
Has anyone found this to be the case for chips with white body colors?
Conversely, are white spots also more prone to color transfer?
Thanks =)

CPC's are less prone to colour transfer compared to other clay chips. If you're hoping for no colour transfer over years of play then clay chips aren't for you.
Probably not many hours at all... why? Don’t stress about the time in play, or wear and tear... CPC chips hold up fairly well. Get chips you like, use the chips, enjoy for a lifetime (or two).
Well if the whites are known to be problematic, then for the set I'm designing, I might go with a gray instead.
