Best contrasting card back colors? PICK 2 (1 Viewer)

[MatB]

we'll give it a week, get a 'top 10' list together and then run a poll

Any sort of dark blue with a light grey would look rich IMO.

If the card theme is more whimsical, orange and purple would be dope.

 

[RocAFella1]

1018 zinc yellow / 5002 ultramarine blue

 

[Jeff]

I liked @kmccormick100 choice...maybe a more muted version could also be good?

kmccormick's:

Maybe more gold (I REALLY like this):

 

[RocAFella1]

Way more fun than picking paint for a house.

 

[Jeff]

Seeing the bigger swatches, my orange and blue pick might be 5002/2005

The only thing would be how white shows up on 2005. The back design has color separated by white space.

Almost there!

I really like the orange & blue combos (especially 5002 & 2005).

4010 & 6026 are nice too:

 

[Venturalvn]

I'd be really down for a maroon/gold combo...

 

[Jeff]

Cant go wrong with blue and gold too...

I just sent an email to them asking if we are limited to just 2 colors (1500 each) in the 3000 deck order.

Here's another factor in color choices . I know the Club Angel cards have green and brown backs which some people find is not enough contrast.

I'd also like to have the colors be ADA compliant. (American Degen Act) And will make sure colors have enough contrast.

This may sound like insanity to some people, but if you’re seriously concerned about all the different kinds of color-blind people being able to tell the decks apart, it might make more sense to go with two different backs.

I think it won't be too much to make sure there's enough contrast.

I wouldn't say it's VERY common but I ve heard from enough people who play poker that they have a hard time with some colors. And the backs make a huge difference.
You've probably played cards with more than a few people that have some kind of color blindness and they've just never mentioned it.

 

[MatB]

To add... it already looks like an Orange and a Dark blue backs would work for almost everyone.

Similar theme, but different shades, this is what caught my eye.

Also like three Casino Arizona-like colors. Smells like casino and degen and desperation.

 

[MatB]

doubtful but fingers crossed we can do 4 colors.

definitely would be great to be able to mix and match along these lines. think any color would work well with the other.

I agree with Kyle. 6018 and 4008.

 

[allforcharity]

Any yellow and dark grey/black.

‘Yotes deck? I’m in

 

[CdnBeerLover]

I find orange / purple works well, as would orange / blue. A light grey / black would also be good.

4007/7001

UPDATE:

I noticed on the face cards the colors they use are Pantone colors.

https://www.pantone-colours.com/

this is probably a safer way to chose.

I'm not the most color-blind person you'll ever meet but i certainly struggle distinguishing green/brown/maroon etc decks in the typical lighting of a poker room. I've basically resorted to only buying red/blue for that reason. It would be great to have another option that works.
