Retro Red vs Mandarin Red (1 Viewer)

[bsdunbar1]

I have color samples in hand but am not sure which is which.
On the chip design tool it looks like Mandarin Red is brightest, but on the color sample screen on CPC's website it looks like the Retro Red is brightest??

The mandarin red looks more orange.

 

[Beakertwang]

And yes, retro red is the brightest.

Retro has no brass flakes, that's the easiest way to tell them apart.

Yeah, retro red is brighter. You can also tell your samples apart bc mandarin red will have the brass weighting in it, but retro red won’t.

Edit: I type too slow lol.

Retro Red FTW.

What a guessing game this is without these samples being labeled.
I'm also trying to verify between Dayglo Arc Yellow & Dayglo Peach
I have the CSQ Rounders sample set which I think has both of these colors used. Does anyone know if the colors of those stock chips are listed anywhere?

As others have said...

Retro red is brighter, more “fire engine” red.

Mandarin has a duller, more “matte” look, and has the flakes along the edges.

I might be able to do a side-by-side rack picture when I get home

I don't know if I'd call retro "brighter", but imho its more "red", like a crayola red crayon. I find mandarin has more of an orangy tint and is more compatible with the cpc yellows/oranges.

Peach on the left?

DG Peach is much more orange. If you’re holding them side by side, DG Arc Yellow will be the lighter/duller one.

Correct.

This thread has a photo of all of them with a list of which numbers correspond to which colors. That should help a bit. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/cpc-mold-color-sample-set.6088/

If I'm not mistaken the CPC colour sample is sent to you in the same order as the Chip Design Tool colour palette:

Sorry but Black, Charcoal and Grey come before Lavender, Purple and Blurple... turns out I reorganized my sample set incorrectly... d'oh! But hopefully you get the idea.

Yep, which should be the same order as what's shown on their website:

I find the Chip Design Tool colour palette is easier to follow at least for my eyes. I too had the same problem with the reds, yellows and oranges when I compared my unlabeled sample set to the CPC colour chart. If I'd just shown patience when opening them then maybe I would've noticed they were in that order. But yeah, if you're still not sure then check for brass flakes on the rolling edge and then it's easy peasy.

@bsdunbar1: You may borrow my labeled color sample set -- I'll bring them to MTTD next week. They're from the ASM era but will do the job.

This was MY lineup decision... I debated the Man vs Ret too... I'm way happy I went retro!
