Hi,
I am beginning the long process of designing a custom CPC set, and I have realised in my short time lurking here that I really lack culture about poker chips, so I am in the «accumulate-assimilate» phase, watching a ton of sets/chips, trying to consolidate and refine my tastes, to understand what works best, etc.
I have noticed that while it is somewhat «easy» to make a good looking chips with «regular» or conventional colours combos and spots (nothing wrong with that, what works works), I have also noticed that some sets have unusual pairings that make them definitely more special.
I lack the knowledge to give multiples examples of what I mean, but I do remember a picture of a IOC frac rack, where the pink and tan almost clash, but works wonderfully well.
Some combinations almost make you gag and hurt your eyes at first, first reaction is «aargh, nah never», and on second look you go «yeah, why not…», and on third you are in full «fuck yeah that’s good» mode.
Edit: I realise the whole IOC set makes my eyes bleed. But damn it is nice!
You know what I mean? You all got some more good examples of weird and unusual combos that make a set truly stand out and be memorable?
Thanks in advance, looking forward to see what makes you tick!
