Was playing around, and this fellow just kinda popped out. He’s definitely not up to code, but he’s pretty.

The $25 and the $500 have been hard on this set, and I’m beginning to see why some of the better designed sets tend to use so many primary colors as offsets; you start to run out of shades quickly in some lanes, and the visual differences between certain colors are negligible.
It’s been a fascinating process, digging into the color palette.
I’ve also started the process of creating a workflow in Photoshop, and recording actions against the process, so that I can automate some of the color changes. I have a long way to go to loading up all the spot patterns, but, it’s starting to come together.

Would def like to see that $25 mocked with sherbert or day green replacing whatever color is on the left of the top spot. Thinking it might offer nice contrast. Just my $0.02
Agreed. Sherbet in this set somewhere would really give it some punch

Hope you find a way to incorporate metallic gold spots somewhere in the lineup!

So... How's it looking with that Capitol City set, Krish? That set sounds so insane, I cant wait to see pictures. Is it currently in the mail?

Yep, was shipped from Wimbledon in the UK this week. Haven’t gotten much mail from the UK lately, so don’t know about timing — but hopefully, gets here soon. I would say mid next week?

The chocolate 20 looks pretty sweet I must say. Mmm....

I was going to suggest butterscotch.

Ahhhh... much better.

Interesting spot color choice. I think they work? They don't strike me as a great choice, though. No idea why. Maybe if they were in triples like the $5 instead of pairs like the $1. When I look at the $1 the colors don't seem out of whack, because the light blue spot blends with the darker blue chip. And when I look at the $5 none of them seem out of whack, because even though none of them blend, the two contrasting colors are nicely sandwiched together.
I don't have any design theory to back me up here, just relaying my subjective impressions.
Butterscotch is a fine color indeed!

Made a bunch of $5s today. It’s amazing what just a slight switch in palette does to the mood of a chip. Side effect of all this mocking up is that I’m starting to understand which colors in the Paulson palette are the most versatile. Plus, my automated Photoshop actions are starting to get more nuanced and complex.
Absolutely loving this learning process.

Is there a way to replicate a side view of barrel stacks?
Also of note is how very different the last chip is to the rest. Radial symmetry has some appeal over 3 colors.

Not with real photographs. I’m working on a 3D modeling tool that might help. We’ll see.

Sounds good. Great work thus far.

One final learning for tonight. Palettes are so pivotal in creating a sense of refinement. While loud, bright colors are generally amazing, there is also some joy in subtlety and restraint. I present to you, the “refined gentleperson’s California set.”
Tough to beat a classy set.

Mexican rose slowly works its way in to everyone's colour pallete. not sure how i feel about it on 2 consecutive chips.One final learning for tonight.
