Although I am a fan of BJ chips, I find these inlays to be much uglier (i.e. boring) than the color-mismatched inlays.

"2. Applications for approval of chips, tokens, and modifications to previously-approved chips or tokens must be made, processed, and determined in such manner and using such forms as the chairman may prescribe. Only nonrestricted licensees, operators of slot machine routes, or the manufacturer authorized by these licensees to produce the chips or tokens, may apply for such approval. Each application must include, in addition to such other items or information as the chairman may require: (a) An exact drawing, in color or in black-and-white, of each side and the edge of the proposed chip or token, drawn to actual size or drawn to larger than actual size and in scale, and showing the measurements of the proposed chip or token in each dimension;"
Since changing the color would not change anything in a B/W drawing, it still feels to me the label reuse was an issue of laziness / cost cutting. However, my speculation is not necessarily any better / worse that another man's. Who know what goes through their minds when designing chips?
...other than "as little as possible"

So I'm not surprised if next year they take note of this and fix this shite.

You're assuming they submit in black & white, as opposed to color (which was the first option mentioned); and, at any rate, they'd be forced to show the color change during the sample manufacturing process, which could plausibly trigger the review process as it would be a new inlay AND the NGC would have already had copies of existing colored inlays (from previous versions).
As an aside: I wonder if the chip drawings are treated like blueprints, where they'd indicate the color of the inlay (regardless of whether it is a color or B/W submission). Trade secret, more than likely, but it's a shame ASM/CPC couldn't weigh in on the NGC submission process.
One of the items I found more interesting was the fact that the chips needed to be distinguishable from each other, when in stacks, as viewed on B/W monitors. Since the edgespot pattern is identical on (at the very least) the T25 through T5000 chips, I want to see these in a B/W render to see the differences. (This might also explain why the brown was used in the set.)

That orange inlay on the 1k is just plain offensive to my eyes. The 100 is only marginally less awful.

Just having the initials W S O P at the cardinal points (like NESW on a compass) would have been so much classier. And a lot less uncluttered.
The Stars event has proven a few things:
1. GPI's internal auditing / security is not working as it should
2. the chip community is not a marginal group of geeks...they can get things done if GPI is not up to speed
So I think that this forced GPI to open their eyes, close those loops and have some difficult discussions with the people of Caesars.
We are only talking about the biggest, most important & televised, multi million dollar event of the gambling industry.

I don't think B/W monitors are the reason they went to brown though. The previous WSOP set had to be made under the same regulations, and also used an identical pattern throughout the set.
Also, how antiquated is it that B/W monitors are still in the regulations?

I'll try when I get there
looks like moss with carnation, carrot, purple, my guess
For some reason I really really still like those black t500k chips.
To be fair, these chips look good in stacks if you can’t see the mold and inlay and haven’t gotten the hideous hi denoms in play yet
