I mean in his wide, expansive career, I think it was Dafoes 2nd best movie.

It would be his best, except he CRUSHED it in pretty woman.

You know, I’ve never seen Willem DaFoe and Steven Tyler in the same room at the same time…..

Dennis Leary said he gets mistaken for Willem DaFoe

pink chips as fracs with red $5 chips is awful.

I didn't know this was controversial.

Yeah, and we should all have to eat dry white toast for breakfast and drive Honda CRVs.

Agreed!

Agree, but pink chips with blue edgespots usually rock. Go figure...

Also agreed!

I am color deficient and while I can tell the difference between pinks and reds when looking and trying they can be easily mixed up if I'm just glancing in a low light environment, which many of the home games I've played in have been.

That being said, I understand why a lot of people might do it, especially if you're trying to get those pink chips in play somehow.

This is a valid reason to not like it. Just saying you don't like two colors in the same set that have a similar hue is silly. Edge spots also play an important part in whether or not the chips can play well together in the same set. I see no issue in using both pink and red in this lineup because the quarter has a very dark edge spot, while the $5 has a bright yellow edge spot.

You didn’t think people don’t like the same hue in 2 chips that play together was because of playability/visibility? I’m not sure what other reason there’d be….

We’re not just all homohuephobic.

100%, the edge spots can make a huge difference. In this one too the split spot makes it easier. And the fact a lot of people use solids only for fracs can help too... though I do love some of the spotted fracs I've seen on here.

pink chips as fracs with red $5 chips is in general are awful.

FYP

With maybe 4 or 5 notable exceptions.

Silly? I dunno. I came to the same conclusion on my own, independent of anything I’ve ever read here. You’ve pictured five chips, but realistically most of our cash games will play mostly with three chips. And I’ve concluded that having two out of three chips with similar hues is . . . silly.

Good to have you back in the booth.

I hope to post one of those exceptions Saturday

A whole color palette of chips to choose from

fixed it.. how's that?

Pink frac / red $5 is not the hill I'm dying on (pink fracs usually go with a blue or yellow $5 in my sets), but it works for me in certain sets/scenarios.
Especially when you do not have a "whole color palette" available building a Paulson THC real Nevada casino set with each chip from a different city.
A bright green THC $.50 would be cool (if not using a $25) if they were, well actually a thing... but it's Nevada.
Not a fan of white/gray/beige with these; so basically:
yellow - full on yellow theme set (I do have non Nevada yellow fracs to use in the set)
purple - a bit too dark for me in this set
orange - see below (started building a $.25 rack) needs to be blaze as regular orange looks dull and clashes with the red $5
hot pink - yeah, this works
I get the "same hue" concept, and your eyes may work different, but hot pink is a very very different color compared to royal red.

Big fan of the PCA set (I also really like the RHC $1s and have no interest in swapping them out for a THC alternative )
This setup also works for me:

Though I use those fracs with a yellow $1 and orange $5 normally.
What about a red frac with a pink $5?

This themed set worked for me also (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...owcase-thread-of-pcf.11227/page-3#post-276603):

You should have kept the pink frac and gone with a yellow 5
