Solids vs Edge Spots (2 Viewers)

[NotRealNameNoSir]

Are all starbursts leaded?

Nope

 

[Chris Flynn]

I have a cash set that utilizes edge spots and a tournament set that has solids. I like the contrast and both sets look/feel great!

 

[PlaidDragon]

The closest I've ever got to solids are quarter pies.... and half pies in an upcoming set.

In my solid set, peach chips have color variation, but I don't really care.

If have sets of both and have gotten to the point a few times where I had too many solids. So I'll decide no more solids for a while.

When mixing a set of solids and spotted, it works well to have the solids as the lower denom. For the mixed cash set I'm building, I have a solid .50, the reset are spotted.

Progress update….

I have acquired 200 day blue, 100 grey(possibly charcoal or showboat, I’m really not sure), 420 Royal Reds, 20 Fuscia and 20 Forest Green.

I still need to get the bulk of the reds milled. Also need to pick up a rack of green and another full rack to be used as fracs. I intended to use the grey but think they may be too dark.

I have the first order into a gear for labels and will get some pics up soon.

Any thoughts or real world experience using Fuscia as a frac in a solid set that uses red $5’s? I’ve been looking for a rack of yellows but haven’t found what I’m looking for yet.

I have some Fuscia chips but I’m not sure they would work with a royal reds? Dirty stack issues?

I always fancy brown /gold or butter scotch...maybe even almond?

Good luck in your build!

100% dirty stack guarantee
I did for my Vlv cash set using the $50 VLV overlable in 25¢
Was a disaster

Dang. Well I appreciate the honesty.

Once I receive all the chips I’ll post some line ups to hopefully get some feedback.

Nice looking eh?
Terrible mistake

Indeed nice looking but I see what you mean

 

[LeGold]

Yeah, but that's a (well) spotted fuchsia with well spotted $5s.

Here is a single solid one among a bunch of royal reds:

Hmm well that’s a different visual with solids vs @Pippa photo.

This is really helpful.

Might have better results if the chips have different edge spots. Above is too close in color and the edge spots are the same pattern.

I try to keep the colors as different as possible. Figure if you get anyone that is color blind, they're not going to be able to tell the difference if the chips are too similar.

I think dirty stack concerns are overblown. But I just look at it from this perspective - your typical cash game is played mostly with three denominations. If you only have three or four different chips on the table, do you really want two of them to be two shades of the same color?
I’d rather have each denomination be a distinctly different color, just because I like the way that looks.

 

[ChippinUp]

Still waiting on some chips to arrive but considering this darker frac option. Still not sure and have been holding out for a rack of mint yellows…..
