Looking for feedback on the colors/spots for my custom ASMs.

*EDIT* I decided to go with blue for my $1 chips and had been leaning towards blue anyway. I'd like your opinions on ALL of my current color/spot choices for my pending ASM order. I'm having a hard time deciding between blue and white for my $1 chips. Any input on my current design is appreciated. The inlay still isn't finalized.

What do you guys think?

Optionally, you can just go with a blue/white combo. Personally, I prefer a blue for the base especially with ASM as the white is really more of a very lt tan or slightly yellowish offwhite. This is much more obvious if you use white as the basecolor vs. just a spot color.

I have a feeling that the response to this is going to be divided right down

and

party lines.

Personally I'm a Blue man, but the white looks great too. Sorry if that isn't really helpful, but I just don't think you can go wrong either way.

I like the blue but I'm biased towards them.

Using those colors, I'd say definitely blue. If you wanted to change the .25 to a different color the white $1 would be pretty good.

I still like the blue better.

The ASM white isn't really white, more "ivory" or "bone."

For that reason alone, I would go with blue.

If you're set on the gray chip, I'd go with the blue. The gray and white chip are way to close for my liking. They look good though.

white here!

Bingo! I'd kind of like a true white $1, but ASM doesn't offer a true white. Having a beige $1 chip just rubs me wrong. Plus, blue does contrast better with the gray quarter chip. I'll likely go with blue for these reasons; I just wanted to bounce the question off other chiptalkers first.

Whadda you guys think of the rest of my set. I'm shooting for 600-700 chips in all. My highest denom is $100, since these will be for cash games only. I just don't have the dough for a custom 1500-chip tourney set. That's what my faux's are for.

Blue.

Because of reasons mentioned, you will not get a "white" chip from ASM.

It is almost a "putty" color (think of an old VW Beetle) and not the true white you see on many casino chips.

If you have a graphics program that does CMYK plug in these numbers for a reasonable representation of ASM's white.

C - 15
M - 15
Y - 35
K - 0
