Royal Red and black. I think that the Blood red just doesnt offer enough contrast?? JMHO..
The contrast of the Blood Red and Black is a little better on a real chip than in the image (I'm looking at them right now), but still it's not comparable to the contrast against the Royal red.
In terms of overall 'brightness' and in the interest of creating a cohesive set, the 'brighter' royal red looks better next to the 'bright' light blue $1 chip.
I probably should have left a vote off of this poll, since I'm very conflicted. I think the blood red "looks" better by itself, but the royal red "looks" better next to the existing chip.
