Chip Color Question (1 Viewer)

[emunster18]

So, this may seem silly...

I bought the Nevada Jack Skull set a few months back. Started with 500 chips, and have slowly increased that to 1,300 chips over the coming months. The standard color for their $500 chips (which I use for tournaments) is yellow. Am I wrong to think that all $500s should be purple? Isn't that a normal thing?

I'm contemplating getting a purple chip to replace the yellows. In the meantime, isn't there a standard progression of colors? I just assumed that every set followed something like this:

$1 - White or Blue
$5 - Red
$25 - Green
$100 - Black
$500 - Purple
$1,000 - Yellow
$5,000 - Brown
$10,000 - Orange

And often times they are only referred to by their colors... i.e. "Black Out".

Also, I have never gambled with chocolates or pumpkins, but it would be quite the experience.

But I digress... should I consider replacing the yellow $500s because it annoys me that they aren't purple?

You are not wrong.
As a staunch opponent of those free for all left coast hippie colors, I agree that $500s should be purple and purples should be $500s.
But all that really matters is what you like and what you want (as long as it doesn’t tweak your players.) So do that.

Depends what state you're in the colors shift for most denoms

Yes, i would replace the yellow $500s to purple or orange (MO color)

Yellow, in my eyes, doesn't represent $500

There is no real set standard color code for chips. Different states and countries and casinos do it different.

That said, your colors are the rightest.

Here are the chips in question.

Yellow - current stock.
Purple Skull - Can order these in $500s as a semi-custom instead of $5,000s
Purple Saloon - a non-custom option.

The $500s are usually the highest denom in my 5T based tournament, so the thought of them being noticeably different doesn't sounds too bad.

Typical cash chip colors used in most places are:

$1 -- white (or blue)
$5 -- red
$20 -- yellow
$25 -- green
$100 -- black
$500 -- purple
$1000 -- orange
$5000 -- grey (or pink)
$10000 -- nobody uses these
$25000 -- blue

Just make sure the black 100's and the purple 500's have enough contrast. First thing I check for. I like more of a Lavender 500 to try and avoid dirty stacks.

Good point. I think I'm going to go with the lighter, lavender color saloon chip.

BR can make any color you want. Just send them examples or codes and they can work with you. I almost made a custom-colored NJ set and even got samples made…

I had a set made from BR. Fantastic work, I highly recommend. I had my favorite separation of black/purple. I'll try and dig up a pic.

My personal quirk? I need to have an orange 1k. That's my fave color and the workhorse chip of a T25 set. On a T100 set, I might move the orange to 5k and have a yellow 1k.

When I bought mine, I wanted casino colors. I’ve worked in table games for over 25 years and I’m stuck on certain colors. I kept the $5, $25, and $100 colors stock, but changed the other colors and denoms.
