Color Breakdown for Chips

[chipshuffle]

I'm going to buy a set of 1000 chips with a friend. We play cash games (NL and limit) and NL tournaments. They won't have denoms on them. I am thinking of ordering the breakdown below. What do people think of these numbers?

300 white
300 black
200 blue
100 red
100 yellow <font color="black"> </font>

Replace yellow with purple.

400 red
350 green
150 black
100 purple

I guess it's just a matter of colour preference, but typically in casinos, the chip values go white, red, green, black, purple.

If I was ordering chips, I want to use the same value scheme. That is, the most whites and the least purples.

I just bought a set of 1300 chips. You can get a good deal this way by getting a set of 1000 and a set of 300 or two sets of 650. Anyways.. I choose 500 Green( with greay), 500 Black(with pink), 200 Blue(with orange), and 100 Red (With yellow) That last chip woul have been yellow with something else but my set scheme did not have that chip.. Anyways

500 Green = $25 or 25 cents
500 Black = $100 or $1.00
200 Blue = $500 or $5.00
100 Red = $1000 or $10.00

The second amounts are for cash game. Now if you have 500 25 cent chips and 10 people play, they can each have 40 chips of 25 cents and color up when needed. This all depends if you like a lot of chips in play like I do. You dont need many blue or yellow then cause the increment is so high, you'll never use them up coloring up as people win more money. Plus the High colors are great for coloring up when the blinds raise in a tourney. My chips hve increments on them, cause things are less confusing, but its your chip set, you will play better poker when you are happy about your game setup.

I agree with morello. It's nice to have somewhat standard colors. Make them unique with edge-spots and graphics, but don't try to tell your players that blues are worth 5 greens, which are worth 5 blacks. It's just confusing.

Also note that blue and white are both pretty standard for the $1 chips. You can go either way.

I have the Ace/King Suited 11.5g chips and just wanted to warn you that the purple chips look a little like the blue chips. We've had that mistake before [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (blue=10$ purple=500$)
