Looking for a single chip. Shipping is to Gear for matching colors.

Hope somebody can help.

I might have a barrel of those. I can check when I get home tonight. Is a barrel something that might interest you?
I already have got 200 of them which need to be relabeled for my project. Problem: I & my chips are located in Germany.

I already ordered labels @Gear, but he hasn't got a sample chip for matching colors. That means: I only need a single chip to be borrowed, sold to gear or sold to me, to get the right base color matched for my labels. Would love to take a barrel, but shipping would kill this idea. Hope you can sell or borrow a single chip. Maybe sb. else?!

Gotcha! No worries man. Don't really want to sell a chip and break the barrel. Shipping to Gear back and forth one chips would also be expensive, sorry.

Can't wait to see the final product!

Cheers!

Wouldn’t ask for breaking up a barrel. And shipping both ways is expensive which I can understand.

Hope somebody would like to sell a single chip anyway.

Little spoiler only for you:

So @Gear only needs it for the label color matching to base color? Paulo, drag out your color samples to confirm - pretty sure it's almond. I think Chris has samples too, so if almond is confirmed, he can just use his color chip for matching. @ChaosRock

I sold two racks last December, but I don't think I have any singles (or I'd check myself).

Pretty good idea. Hope somebody is able to help. PS: It’s not the same color as from the Argosy 50 Cent chip.
 
So I have some of these chips, and a Paulson sample set, so I took the photos below, if this helps. There seems to be some slight color differential in the "Almond" color between Paulson chips, as the base color of the Tropicana $1s from both Las Vegas and Laughlin are Almond. The Tropicana from Laughlin is just a very little bit lighter yellow/almond color than the Tropicana Las Vegas $1 chip. The Trop Laughlin $1 is a very close match to the Almond color sample.

However, the Almond colored Paulson sample seemed 'chalky' but and when I rubbed the face of the chip on a white towel (meaning to remove dust/dirt, etc.), there was some color transfer, and the sample chip seemed a slighly darker after this. The 4th photo below shows this. The top 3 photos were before I rubbed the Almond sample chip.

[The spots on the Horseshoe Cleveland $5 (not pictured) are almond, but those spots look slightly less yellow than the Almond color sample chip and the Tropicana chips.]

@Gear is this enough info, or do you still need a chip? Just let me know.

Is the base color of the Argosy, which you used for the first lot, almond, too?

@AWenger thanks for the help!!!
 
Just to reinforce @AWenger 's post. Yep, the chip is Almond base. However, there is a slight difference between the chips and the sample chip due to some play, at least on my chips. Enough that Gear's color match can be hindered? Probably not...

From the pic further below, I'd guess the Argosy is Mustard - that's the color sample chip below the Trop Las Vegas $1 in my photo below. [Confirmed by @ChaosRock while I was typing this.]

If you still need a Trop express for color match and @Gear is interested in this barrel of Paulson Web mold chips, he could buy them and I will include a couple of the Trop Express $1s in the package.
Sebastian, you would just need to cover shipping of the Trop Express $1s from Gear back to me.

Ok. Thank you guys. I know that gear has a Argosy chip and I am pretty sure that he also might have a color sample set.

If he still needs a sample chip @softchewy I’ll come back to you. Thanks for the help!

$100 on one side and I forget what's on the other side.. can check next time I'm home.

Thanks for the color confirmations everyone -- it's a funny (sad) story, originally I made some labels destined for Argosy 50c chips, and without a sample I guessed that they were Almond. Nope, too light, I guess they're really Mustard. This time around, I said Aha! Sorry eyes, you can't fool me, that Tropicana chip is darker than it looks! Mustard, here we come.

Except this time it really is Almond. Dang it.
