Maybe it’s the lighting on many photos, but it almost looks like the green in the primary 25 is washed-out or faded looking.
The secondary is definitely a darker and less bright color, but certainly more saturated than the primary.
It's not just the pictures, this is exactly how it looks. Even after oiling it looks faded and pastellified.

Can confirm.
It's the "lime green" color. It's just a muted green. The secondary green color looks better to me, even though the stripes are shit.
Even compared to my Jack Cincy 25s, the Jack chips are better/brighter colored.
 
What do you guys feel about the $1ks?

I see a lot of love for the bearclaw secondary, but I'm not really feeling it because of what looks like a bit wierd color combos on it...
I agree, the primary is way better. It’s pretty much a replica of the detroit sec 1k, right?
 
The $25 primary isn't helped by its inlay being more saturated than the chip color itself. With a better-matched inlay (or no colormatch at all) the green might look less weak?
And to be clear, I'm not saying "everyone should label those" ... I'm just saying the inlay has an effect on the perception of the chip. Context matters, for color.
 
The black $20 outside of the Cali color range throws me off a bit. Especially paired with the red $5 and white $1.
Its a fair point, for sure. I wouldn’t say that I’m in love with the combo either, but neither of the $25s speak to me and was trying to find some combo of the Grand chips that worked.

Ultimately, mixing and matching with chips from other casino lineups is likely the way to go.
 
My line up after seeing samples. The $25 cleaned up and in person and in my lighting it's a better chip for the set.

This is exactly what I'm shooting for as a T5 tournament set. I'll buy whichever $1 is cheaper, which I assume will be the primary. They're a coin flip for me, and will probably get sold.

Secondary is Day Green. Primary is Lemon Green. Per Jim.
 
I’d be curious to see the primary 25 after it’s cleaned and oiled… should bring the colors back
Move up 9 posts from yours where Craig cleaned one up. Got back a few pages and someone else has also cleaned some up.

They look like CRAP! Don't buy them!

I’m probably not going to participate in this sale. I’m not blown away by anything and I still have a B-mold order on the way as well as a cards mold order from a group buy I actually forgot about ha. I don’t need more chips…
