Poll: Classic Victorian Back Colors (1 Viewer)

[desjgn]

If I am able to add an additional set of back colors along with the Dragon/Kraken, which would you choose?

 

[CdnBeerLover]

Gorgon and Sphinx...been wanting that combo for a while.

 

[jja412]

Blue and Grey...I mean, Gargoyle and Hydra.

 

[ranger764]

Option 2

 

[derekdd23]

Option 1, I’m afraid that with poor lighting the card backs may not be that easy to tell apart.

^^^^This.

Try printing them out and testing them in the various lighting. I’d be curious what you discover.

 

[Geremie]

Aqua / Gold would be amazing!!

I don’t have a color printer, Does anyone else have access to one to try this?

 

[jcooper911]

All in on Gargoyle and Hydra - will look awesome with my deep green table.

I'll give it a try tonight.

Gorgon and Sphinx

 

[RocAFella1]

Sphinx and Hydra?

 

[CdnBeerLover]

Here's what I did. Lighting was my dining room table, which is typical of the light I use when I play games. I didn't set up a table, but the seating position is approximately correct for cards in the middle of the playing area. For each combo, the first picture is from the seating position, the second a closeup. No flash was used in any picture.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how close my printer is to reproducing the colours that will be used for the cards. It's an inexpensive inkjet.

I'm still a fan of Gorgon / Sphinx.

Sphinx and Hydra?

Anyone who is blue/yellow colour blind will likely not see much difference between them.

Edit: I'm wrong. Checked it out at a colour blindness simulator (https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/)

In colour

In monochrome

Much prefer the Black and Gold color scheme.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

One last picture. All of the existing available colours with the new ones.

 

[Geremie]

What size and index are the victorians?

 

[desjgn]

What size and index are the victorians?

Poker size with jumbo index.

 

[desjgn]

Thank you @CdnBeerLover for the test and photos.

 

[jcooper911]

So in on the Grey and Sky Blue.

 

[desjgn]

So let’s open this up a bit more for discussion: would you want these two color combinations instead of the dragon red/kraken blue + one of these above options?

 

[jcooper911]

I would still say Red and Blue and then whatever the most popular is... but im not going to be disappointed either way!

 

[StackemHigh]

Yellow or gold backs usually looks faded, washed out, or low contrast to me, especially with a delicate design.
From the above pics, looks like the blue contrasts nicely with the orange or black.
But as with chip sets, I sometimes run it by couple players that are color blind first.

Gorgon & Hydra exist already ?

Red / Blue + one of the above combos.

Snap buy for me!

No, not yet, but it is a combination in the running.

 

[jcooper911]

I'm down for Gorgon or Gargoyle matched up with Hydra. The Sphinx just doesnt do it for me, but that may be because i already have Wyvern/Phoenix...

 

[Old State]

I feel traditional colors became that because they just look the best. Red and navy blue always are king. I also think deep saturated colors are the classiest look for cards. Burgundy and emerald green is my second favorite. Then black and gold.

Burnt orange would be cool too. Not a fan of that blue Hydra
