Can’t be. Mustard sucks.
Supposed to be Almond.
Looks more off-white in the pics but it's really hard to tell from photos on a computer monitor. Have no Tigers to look at in person (I'm probably the only PCF'er to not have any Tigers, lol). Maybe Almond has changed over the years.
No. I promise you there are plenty of us who didn’t shell out $400 for sample sets.

You're all fucked. I guess these suck then. Feel free to ship them all this way, thanks in advance.
I deeply regret selling a rack of Metallic Gold hotstamps some years ago.
My reason for regretting their sale is just the opposite of your dislike—I loved the color inconsistency. They really looked like raw gold that had just been panned from a dirty stream in California c. 1855.
With all other colors I want consistent racks, but these were really cool. I wish I’d kept at least a couple barrels to use as rebuy or bounty chips.
(From a design standpoint, in theory any color can look great if it is used well. The right inlay and spot combos can make even a drab color shine.)

As a base I totally agree. It wears faster than any other color and tarnishes. I think everyone realizes how nice it looks when new.@Skagglio -- Metallic gold does not appear well liked.
I voted metallic gold as well. I’ve only seen it on edgespots…and while it looks great on new chips, it doesn’t seem to age well.
Just looks like a drab brown, almost dirty. Maybe it tarnishes?

Sherbet Orange is pretty bad

Okay, Okay, Okay... maybe I have something to add... Not 100% sure what my least liked color is yet, but I'll try to figure it out soon.
HOWEVER, I do think that there may be an overly dramatic?? Not quite accurate?? Abhorrence to mustard due to, well.... something/someone recent... (NOT going into that here, THAT is definitely for a different thread)
Anyway, I'm seriously considering replacing my current white 25¢ with mustard...
But tell me something... You REALLY would be unhappy playing with these?????? Something tells me that most would be just fine if they HAD to use a table full of those.... Just sayin'

Colon Orange is the best name, Small Intestine Pink is the second best.

...Maybe that's why I'm having such a tough time figuring out what I think the worst color is....
Colon Orange is DEFINITELY the worst name!!! Without a doubt. I mean seriously, I wish I was in the room when they decided that name! THAT would have been something!!! Haha
My biggest question would've been WHY??????????? Haha

Voted Colon Orange and Almond, though I do really like the Tiger $5K chip.
Probably would’ve voted mustard previously, but the recent drama actually made me appreciate the color a little more.

Oddly enough, I don’t think there is a bad Paulson in color. It really just depends what you’re doing with it.

There's no way given recent events that Mustard loses this poll
We should come up with catchier names for some of the more obscure Paulson colors. For example, Poopchute Orange
This is what all your colon references did to my banner ad.

Props to you. Here's another almond sample in the wild (source):
Here are some Tiger $5k chips in the wild (source):
I work in digital media and am no stranger to color balance and monitor variation. I think the Tigers were mislabeled — they look like a completely different color (off white in every promo and real-world picture I have seen).
