Solid tournament colors (2 Viewers)

[Kid_Eastwood]

Hi,

I'm currently putting together a solid tournament (THC mold) in the following breakdown :
100 x T25
100 x T100
40 x T500
100 x T1000
40 x T5000

Here're the colors I already ordered and are on their way to me :
T25 = Dark Green
T500 = Purple
T5000 = Pink

I'm really thinking about white for the T100.

However, for the T1000, I can't find a color which contrast enough with the other ones.

Peach could make it :

Any yellow too :

Blaze orange could make it too :

1) Would the white 100 bug you in a tournament line-up ?
2) Which one of the T1000 do you prefer ? Peach ? (any) Yellow ? Or Blaze Orange ?

Kid.

I just finished collecting for my solids tournament set and finalized on Day Green/Fuschia/Purple/Day Blue/Watermelon after testing in my normal playing conditions. I also had but rejected Yellow, Peach, Hot Pink, White, and Black.

For your set I personally would like peach instead of white and then the yellow as the 1000. I love color too much to use white or black myself. But I don't think the white looks "bad". If you want to use the white I would go with peach for the 1000.

Blaze are pretty hard to get your hands on and are too vibrant and don't balance well with the other colors IMO.

Staunch supporter of blaze orange 1k. White hundos would not bother me at all.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

@Eloe2000 , this could be nice too indeed.

 

[OlNoiShi]

Blaze orange Peach for me and no problem for a white T100 imo

Really nice!

Sherbert orange makes a good T1000 just tough to find.

 

[Josh Kifer]

I like white hundos. If not black or charcoal, then white or blue for me.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I like that line up with peach for the T100 and yellow T1000. I'm using some unconventional colors with a blue T100 and couldn't be happier with it.

 

[Eloe2000]

Yep, if you are going to go custom you might as well go for what you love. This is my set color... getting milled next week...

(and I am using white for Bounty and black for Rebuy)

That's what I always say for tournament solids: custom set, custom colours. As long as inlay denom is clear, then go to town with the lineup you want.

I would add to pay attention to the contrast for game situations in low light.

 

[Eloe2000]

@Kid_Eastwood Agreed, I bought a bunch of colors and then tested them out in our playing environment. If anyone has the means I recommend doing the same. And just in general colors looks much different than they do online.

Thumbs up on the peach 100!

My future solid set (pretty standard colors):
red, day green, showboat grey, plum, yellow, orange, (not sure which) blue

 

[Eloe2000]

My setup looks very different than the sample colors would lead you to believe. Much better contrast in real life and in photos when they are together...

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I’m almost convinced with the white T100.
So time to hunt for peach. Are they hard to find ? Any yellow or blaze orange would fine too but I would prefer to find a peach.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So I will have the possibility to buy canary, peach or salmon :

With canary :

With peach :

With salmon :

I'll probably go with Salmon.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

In that mockup I like the canary. But in real life I think Salmon you'll love. If I still had my color sample set I'd mock it up for you. That scan isn't the best representation of it.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

For me canary is a little bit off amongst those colder colors. I hesitate between peach & salmon.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I probably like peach best to be honest, but depends on the condition of the rest of your chips

Varies from "Very Good" to "Excellent". Almost no mint.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

@JeepologyOffroad , see pics from original seller :

White, Excellent, see description :
sharp edges, very few to no flea bites per rack, 1 barrel fits snugly in standard Paulson 24010 rack, stamp looks crisper

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Salmon condition fits better from the looks of it

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I feel so too.
Thanks for your good advice !

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Actually now that I look again that rack of peach on the right looks good. How many racks are you going for?

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

One rack + few spares if possible

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So I finally decided on Peach.
I’m working on a black label.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

My first solids arrived !
Thanks to @Taghkanic and @Tim Kutscher for very easy transactions !

I would recommend blurple not purple because it’s so much fun to say.
