Home game tournament structure

[Sykes]

Due to a recent cash in a MTT, I can finally splurge on some chips for a home game. However, I do not wish to pay $1 or so on a chip, so I have decided to get the faux clay chips that I've heard so much about from here. These are them:

However I'm now in a dilemma about how to split up the chips. I figure at the most I'm going to have is 10 people playing so I won't need to go overboard on them.

Here is the chip denomination:

Red : 5
White: 10
Green: 25
Black: 100
Purple: 500

Here is the tournament structure:


1500 to start

Blinds

5/10
10/20
15/30
25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
100/200 ante 25
150/300 ante 25
200/400 ante 50
250/500 ante 75

Blind increase every 20 or 30 minutes.

Knowing this, How many chips will I need for the tournament and what would be the split number in chips?


Just by looking at the blind structure, I feel that I'm going to need a lot of green.
