viewing all the chips 1$ and all the huff over it should be this or that. You would have thought that over the years a standard would have fixed this little pain in the butt. we all know red is 5$, green, is 25$ black is100$ wouldn`t it be easier to have a standard. so as not to be so confusing from place to place. just imagine if there was no denoms on these color switching value chips. I`m sure someone out there could come up with a color chart and take it to up to 25,000 chips if neccessary. I`ve seen chocolate chips as 5,000. give your thought`s on this mess.  |

I think there was a general consensus for years in Vegas for the standard colors of $5 Red, $25 Green, $100 Black, $500 Purple. Then things started to go all over the place. The $1 chips are about evenly split between White & Blue. $1,000 chips are Yellow or Orange, $5,000 chips are often Gray, and $2.50 chips are usually Pink. But still some oddballs.
California card clubs had a different set of colors, a la the Vineyards and others. Most didn't use the Vegas colors, and added new denominations ... maybe they just made up what they wanted for artistic reasons?
I understand that New Jersey specifies the colors you must use -- I think it's $1 White, $2.50 Pink, $5 Red, $25 Green, $100 Black, $500 Purple, $1,000 Orange, and $5,000 Gray. Then with poker rooms, they added $10 Blue and $20 Yellow.
For small-stakes Poker cash games, now there are 25¢ and 50¢ chips, but with inconsistent color schemes.
I like traditional colors, so I'd choose the Nevada/New Jersy color scheme for $5-$25-$100-$500, with white or blue for $1 and Yellow for $1,000, and Pink for $2.50 if you're going to play Blackjack. I don't see the need for $2-$3-$10-$20-$50 chips....

Speaking of... Can someone post the official chip colors for all chips in say, the 2004 WSOP? Pictures to go with it would be great.

If I'm paying a lot for good quality chips, I hate to buy $2 & $3 (or $10 & $20) chips that will only get limited usage. I'd rather just get more $1 and $5 and be flexible. But if you are sure that you'll always be playing 2-4 or 3-6, then by all means get lots of $2 and $3 chips....
