Help Me Create A Premium Deck of Poker Cards! (13 Viewers)

Colours:
Red/Blue
Orange/Purple
Yellow / Black
I had green/purple from another manufacturer, and I had issues with them. Same with dark red/black. There must be significant contrast. I suggest taking the combination you are considering and check it within https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/.

I hope to post another sketch or 2 this evening. Things I think I have settled on so far (could still change I guess):
- blackjack index
- border backs (love borderless though @Bronson so will have to take care of that soon!)
- amazing stock (of course!)
- 2 colour (for this deck, love 4col and will create one in the future)
- clear pips + font
I am leaning towards a classic red + blue, but perhaps in bold, fresh pantones, but still not fully decided.
Thanks everyone for all your input: keep it coming!

Anyone have any experience of the following, just stumbled across them this morning - ? - QUEEN PLAYING CARDS
Printed in China, quite popular in smaller casinos and poker rooms in USA, never had any but heard that they more than decent....

High Hand
FYI, as someone who has colour deficiency, black/red will be difficult to differentiate.
Under dim lights, to my eyes, red and black are as good as the same colour - black.
And I am on the mild side of the CD spectrum.
sth for your consideration.
*Edit: estimated 8% of men have CD, so not a significant proportion, but maybe not insignificant also
Of cos, that being said, ppl with colour deficiency can always just choose to get a colour combi that makes sense to them
On a separate note,
+1 purple/green

Blackjack or Jumbo
I like both, and a Full Bleed option is mostly lacking
I find the bifurcation of members depends on if the host has a shuffler or not. Most of us that do have shufflers have the shuffletech, it boxes bridge cards. Those who hand-shuffle mostly want bridge. I think bridge would sell the best, but members that have shufflers would buy more setups if you can their buyin
Best possible answer:
I like Angel and Dal Negro
but ...
It would be a non starter for me
By and large this question has been answered on this site multiple times, 2 color on the table, 4 on the screen. You really only have one option, 2 color, but from there some people are passionate about the hues of red you would use.
They have to have contrast, Blue and Orange are favs, but I've seen black and bright green look good to, red / blue is boring I need a reason to buy make me want them
Red / Green is meh, I don't mind the brown fill but hate yellow fill, from previous posts no fill was preferred but that is with only two options yellow or white (no fill)

IMO, I am not a fan. Too thick and rigid, similar to Faded Spade.
Wrong.

Right guys, based on everyone's responses and observations, it looks like a bright/funky red + blue, or a bright/funky purple +green for the backs. I have made a couple of mock-ups - what does everyone think? These are CMYK adjusted for RGB, so not amazingly accurate, but you get the general idea. I also started on the faces - feedback on sizing, colours, functionality and overall aesthetic? I used a set of Courts I recently drew for another project but haven't used on any decks yet. Looking forward to getting these up and running!
My $.02 worth:
The faces look really nice! (but maybe fonts are a tad too elongated)
Colors are personal preference but I like a deeper blue and a slightly deeper red. (like what Bicycle uses). I don't like purple/green. I'd do black/gold instead as the second offering.

Red and blue backs looks mint IMO!

Just out of interest, why was brown preferred over yellow? Thanks
Agreed, good general font size but too stretched
OP
OP
Adjusted slightly to make the font wider and shorter, but occupy a similar space on the card face... any better? They seem roughly comparable in proportions to other blackjack index offerings I have come across. Let me know!
The choice offered was Yellow or White, White was preferred. Brown was not an option or offered.
I was saying I think brown is okay, but definitively not yellow. For me it makes the pips harder to read and is harsh on the eyes.

I definitely prefer this to the first version. Much easier to read/identify quickly.

Like these much better
OP
OP
No probs, it's actually not a yellow but more an in-between egg shell affair. I can defo make it more browny and less yellowy though

Royal Flush
Yellow >>> brown

I tried a light brown - it's a no-go. Yellow or plain. Feedback?

Cream boxes are the way to go for anything larger than standard index.

White looks to plain, like something is missing. Yellow would be the way to go.
