how does it look with two solids and two simple edge spots? #2 would be Dglo Tiger

Now that I'm studying it, not sure if I'm sold on two solids in the group. One is fine, all is fine, 50/50 I don't think fine. Progression is off.

I think either three solids, than half pie on the 25, or the quarter is the only solid with slight progressions on the other three denoms.

For me, the difference in weight isn't really noticeable, but the difference in edge texture definitely is. All else being equal, I'd definitely go with all weighted base colors. That said, if you really love a certain DG color as a base, I wouldn't hesitate to use it either.
Level 11 edgespots FTW. Sunsets are colorful, right?

I still think I'm leaning towards 3 solids, and the rebuy chip being a half pie. I miss having a solids set.
FWIW, I just contacted J5 via email.

as much as you love solids, why not just go with an all solid set? the half pie just looks...i dunno...weird to me.
Yeah, same for me - all solids or spot progression.
Yep! ^^^^^

not disagreeing with you guys. It does look out of place. I think I'm trying to hard to get the rebuy chip to "pop" a little more.
I should be able to do that with the colors I choose to roll with.
Good thing I have plenty of time to decide what the hell I want to do.

I can't stop fucking with the damn chip design tool
#2 would be Dayglo Tiger
#5 is if I decide to bring in a 100 chip.

Just messing around right now. Waiting to hear back from J5. I also plan on borrowing Paulo's sample set. Once I have that in hand it will help me consolidate the colors.
The retro blue is one of my favorite colors. That is going to be in my set. I might have to reconsider the charcoal gray. Good thing I have plenty of time.
@BG, thanks for your participation in the thread. Greatly appreciated.

Best one so far IMHO, though you could also switch out the DG green for saturn yellow, may end up being a better fit for both the sunset theme and the fact that this denom will be $20 instead of $25 (yellow more common for $20s, green more common for $25).
I think you're at the point where you need a draft mock-up of the inlay, the colors/style of the inlay often has a big impact on the look & feel of the set, and could easily sway the chip color selection. Otherwise you'll end up creating infinite color permutations until you go mad....

I agree Irish. J5 has been emailed, just waiting to hear back from him. I contacted him 36 hours ago. ...where is he at.....lol........damn addictions
I agree with @Irish 's comments above Bill... About the colors and inlay mock-up...
It looks good but not sure DG Green would fit the theme... I'm thinking you could try colors that usually are present at sunset, idk, like yellow, orange, red, brown comes to mind among other...
As he said, depending on the inlay mock-up you can go from a color combo you love in a vacuum to one that clashes with the inlay substantially... If you know the colors you like best (assuming you decided to go all the way solids), once the inlay starts to take shape it will be easier to pick the four denoms I think...
Having said that, nothing wrong spending way more time with the CDT than doing some actual work

J5 to me is a magician of the poker chip Inlay... A truly gifted artist... But because of that, he's always in super high demand and sometimes does't have the time to respond emails quickly... I know it's hard but try to exercise the patience you developed 'nut peddling' in our games

do you have a sample set yet?
J5 will probably advise that there is a several week delay in getting your first mockups created, thats what he said for me a few months ago and he usually takes 24 hrs to reply to some emails...sometimes a bit longer

some of the line-ups of solids look pretty close to the original truman's house chips which, while they pale in comparison to the set we all know and love, i liked quite a bit:
retro lav, dg peach, retro blue, dg green
retro lav, dg peach, retro blue, dg green

I know. I've "almost" worked with him before on a starburst project. I'm not in any hurry. I have a playable set of the Samurai chips. I'm good for now.

Thanks..........that is a beautiful set.
I'll have my hands on a sample set soon.
Chaos, you bringing it on the 8th? Did you order the Dayglo Tiger chip on me?

The .25 chip is tentative Dayglo Tiger, followed by retro blue, retro lavender as the 1 and 5. I am a big fan of the Saturn Yellow, but would it contrast enough with the dayglo tiger?
I'll try to snap a quick picture of the 2 side by side later tonight, but I'm thinking yes.
Studied this image when working on the 8-Ball set..
DGTiger > Retro Blue > Retro Lavender > DGSaturn
37 > 33 > 35 > 26
The contrast looks pretty sweet to me, but a bolder orange would be good too.

Easily distinguishable IMHO (DG Tiger/Saturn Yellow):
Here's the lineup with the saturn yellow in place of the DG green:
