What's not working here? (1 Viewer)

[jr8719]

Labels aside, my TRK set is pretty much done.

Paulson THC cash set won't be happening until Vegas trip in May next year.

I want to work on something in the interim, and feel as though a hotstamp set is one of the only things left that I really want.

Really scratching my head on this one; feels as though the frac is the only chip not working here? But I just can't figure out why?

Is it even the frac itself, or the yellow in the blue chip not working right next to the butterscotch?

I'd love to potentially have a light green frac, but would ideally like to avoid duplicating colours whatsoever as it tilts me no end.

I think these look great. What color is the frac? Is that Butterscotch? If so I like it.

Otherwise maybe retro lavender on the frac.

+1 for lavender.

A light purple was the first thing to come to mind if any changes at all! Maybe retro lavender?

Edit: Might look slightly odd only to you because there’s a lot of orange/yellows, with that one being the dullest of them all. While it is still the brightest chip on the board. I bet in person that would look wicked good though.

Yeah, Butterscotch. I think I've been working on it for so long, I probably needed some fresh eyes on it, more than anything.

Really close call with the Lavender, per yours and @MatthewTreeTree's suggestion...

Something closer to the Hsi $500 for the frac but don't know of that makes it all to dark though and if there would be dirty stack issues, just think it might fit

 

[Easylife]

Meant to say secondary by the way

 

[arch3r]

Like the look and where you are going with it, but I think the base color of the 5 and 20 are too close. And a solid frac while the rest of the set has the same spot pattern seems off to me. I tweaked your set a bit with a new frac, following the same spots as the rest of the set, and slightly lighter 5, chocolate vs maroon. Just my $0.02

 

[Budha]

I actually like a solid frac and agree it was the butterscotch color that felt off. The Lavender suggestion was a good one! Also like going with the lighter chocolate brown as well. Some good suggestions so far.

I think the frac could go a lavender or yellow, and with the chocolate brown $5 it’s starting to really pop!!

 

[shorticus]

That $1 chip is beautiful!

It's perfect. Don't change a thing.

 

[davislane]

Spotted frac. Dont discriminate.

Alternatively make your top dog chip a different spot pattern

I like solid fracs. However, not in this lineup. The jump from the frac to the one feels to big to me. I also don't love the color. There is a bunch of better options imo.

The base colors with the 5 and 20 are both pretty dark. I would like a little more contrast between the two chips. Any concern with dirty stacks?

 

[raynmanas]

the yellow in the blue chip not working right next to the butterscotch

the base color of the 5 and 20 are too close

if the $5 is maroon (is it?), then i agree with both of these. as is in OP, you have some shade of yellow in 3/4 chips, and the spots on the $1 and $20 are very similar.

i do really like each chip individually though.

 

[MrCatPants]

For a color blind person like myself the 5 and 20 are effectively the same color, even in live samples.

I like the original butterscotch quarter over the lavendar, it flows better across the rest of your set where as the lavendar similar in colour to the edge spot on the $100. Both are good though, this will make a nice set

 

[djfayze]

Just echoing some of the other comments on here - I like the original frac color, it feels more in theme with the rest of the Chips. I do think the original $5 and $20 are too close to each other so a change in the base color on one of those is a good idea.

 

[fishsaybloop]

Yeah the butterscotch felt good. Perhaps it’s the lack of contrast between a hotstamp and the butterscotch.

I really like the $1, but could consider a lighter blue for the dollar such as Imperial Blue. DG peacock could be an option but might be too electric for this set.

Or could consider not black for the $20 (although more retro).

 

[allforcharity]

Your base colors are very dark. I would use a much lighter base color for your $5 to get max contast paired up against $1 and $20.

 

[Machine]

If you're going to go with a Cali color scheme and denom, toss that boring ol' red out, at least go orange if not yellow! I like the chips though

 

[Lemonzest]

My thought as well.

 

[jr8719]

Wow, thank you all for such amazing feedback thus far — getting advice from people with much more experience has really helped.

I probably should have given a little more context to the set before posting, but I'm really, really digging the cohesive spot pattern of all the Cali sets from @PocketAces and @Windwalker — so wanted to replicate the 3D14 in the same fashion.

Consensus has it that I need to get rid of the Maroon fiver, which I'm gutted about as I think it was the sickest individual chip in the lineup. However, the original suggestion of Chocolate from @arch3r (and subsequently others) is a masterful one, as it helps the £1 and £20 pop so much more.

Question being now, however, is whether a Butterscotch frac would work with the Chocolate fiver? Is anyone able to take a photo of the base colours next to each other, please, as I don't have a CPC sample set yet?

If you like the maroon 5 (insert joke here), then go for a lighter blue $1 and a Grey $20.

Oh wow, yeah, the Retro Blue and Black together is a no-go...

... This, on the other hand, is fire.

MAROON FIVE OR GTFO. DIRTY STACKS NO MATTER. MAROON FIVE. I WILL NEVER SPEAK MORE CLEARER.

Looooool, I knew that I was copying someone else's Maroon chip, but I couldn't quite remember whose! Agreed — this is the way.

It’s a good one to copy. Custom set of the year and all.

I think the chips in Post 4 are perfect. Ship it!
