Some more ideas. I like the blue with white and light blue.
The green with Light green an pink. See the changes made to the other chips. Just some ideas.

I'm not really a fan of the yellow on the gray, the blue on the red, or the green on the purple. I like the yellow w/ orange and purple though. What I would really like to do is use 4 half-moons, alternating purple and orange, on the yellow, but I am waiting to hear from Dennis on that one.

By washout I meant that it would be hard to tell that you're even looking at a multi spot unless you were looking closely. There was some other chip that I only saw online (so it may be color issues w/ monitor / scan or both) that looked like a single-white stripe because the orange stripe and the red in the chip had about the same saturation / color level and are somewhat close in hue...

I think that most people like it and I don't dislike it. Just wondering if it will even look very multi or not.

See the $5 and $500 below.

I have samples of both colors here with me, and they seem different enough so that it wouldn't work out. I wonder if maybe you're referring to the Modern Clay $5 chip - it is red w/ dark-red/orange edge spots, and the dark red is definitely hard to pick up...

Yeah, that's the orange chip I have - in reality, that's not even close to the real orange - my mockup is actually much closer...

I think that chip had been the one to give me concerns. Thanks. Red looks good to me!

I just called and ordered some more samples from Dennis.

At least my pals will have some things to look at if they upgrade from their Xmas sets (dice). When I'd been talking about a custom order, they had originally thought that I'd be trying to recruit them for it. I don't see them springing for these sets but someone might get lit up by the look / feel once they see some nice samples.

I'm realizing that even for a cheapie tourney set for a local non-profit should have edge-spots for ease in counting smalling stacks just sitting on the table by eye. So much for plain diamond...

Looks very good to me.

Potentially bad idea (brainstorming)
It might be nice to alter the stock inlay just a small bit - removing the . after Las Vegas or Nevada would not change the look of the chip and would provide a minor custom detail on the inlay No big deal for their artist to do that and not likely to result in an art charge (TR King doesn't really nickle/dime you on art) Maybe a bad idea though because none of 'our' chips would use the same colors as stock... so even if we banged out a very small number of $5k chips, we'd probably have red 1/8" inserts instead of the stock gray on that turquiose chip...

Thanks for the hard work Ray.

Paulson: how big a deal is the rack issue?

I changed the red and the gray chip the rest look good to me.
Just my opinion.

Anyone else like the dark blue instead of the red on the gray chip? I do.

The $5 seems to be the biggest discrepancy amongst everyone...

Wow Ray, great looking chips.
I personally think the purple chip looked a ton better with the white and orange edge spots. If you did that you would probably need to change the red to orange and yellow just to be different.

I think it looked better like this


But if you could darken up the red it might be better

mild pref to gray w/ red but blue looks good 2

edit I don't think there is a darker red kungu...
