1018 and 6018

 

[Machine]

1016 Sulpher Yellow / 7010 Tarpaulin Grey or (7011)

 

[JMC9389]

I'd prefer to stray away from the standard blue/red if this is for a custom buy.

I'll have to take a closer look at the colors later on, but some combination of green/orange, a really light blue and a pink, or a purple and orange would be dynamite.

At the end of the day, anything but yellow or brown. Those colors simply don't show well on playing cards, IMO.

 

[bernielomax]

5008 Grey Blue
1018 Zinc Yellow

Also like Granite Grey

 

[ekricket]

9010 and 9011 contrast pretty good

We are picking paint colors for one of your jobs aren’t we?

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

2011 Deep Orange/ 5012 Light Blue
Or
1018 Zinc Yellow/9011 Graphite Black

 

[TheBigTater]

3001 Signal Red/5012 Light Blue

Yeah I played a tournament at Mohegan Sun once where one of the decks was yellow. It was strangely annoying and just weirdly in your face.

Yellow decks for any meetup @upNdown attends.

Hey @MatB, what color is the felt/speed cloth that you'll be playing them on?

I have a brown speed cloth. But this is picking colors for a very large group buy.
With opportunity to pick any color we like

Still May end up with standard red and blue. But exploring options

 

[Jeff]

Are you thinking with the design on the cards you showed in other thread?

 

[nitzilla]

I have so many red/blue setups......anything else would be amazing.....
WSOP likes Red/Black a lot of years
I like Black/Gold for certain college reasons........ CU

For the love of all that is sacred and holy do not do red and blue

That last pair (4004 and 1007) look great!

@kmccormick100 where did you get the bigger swatches?

 

[Machine]

I’m a fan of orange / blue. Here is card pron

 

[Jeff]

4004 1007 is also interesting.

 

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

3020 & 5005 but normally I hate traffic.

 

[MatB]

The colors I posted are from the RAL color chart (colour)

It’s an industry standard in Europe for coatings/ plastics etc. that most manufacturers use.

Google RAL color chart and you’ll see what’s available

 

[MatB]

here's a link to a site that's a PDF with all the colors.
