I've read a lot of posts about suctom chips. Some reference cali-colors.

Is this a standard color scheme used in California?

Forgive me for my naivety.

"suctom" is a typo for custom chips right?

from what I know, california colors include

$1 blue
$5 yellow
$100 white

I've seen both grey and pink fractionals and gold $500s.

I also have a gray $25 Cali chip. I Cali colors, especially (swoon) solid Cali chips.

Here's some examples from three famous card rooms:

Rainbow Club in Gardena, CA (closed)

$1 blue
$2 red
$5 yellow
$20 dark brown
$100 purple

Monterey Club in Gardena, CA (closed)

$1 blue
$2 red
$5 yellow
$20 black

Vineyard Casino in Fowler, CA (closed)

$1 blue
$2 green
$5 yellow
$20 black
$100 white

The most obvious thing about California colors is the big three---California ones are generally blue, whereas in Vegas, they could be blue or white. California fives are commonly found in yellow. California rooms have offered $10/20 games for a long time, so you'll often see a $20, instead of a $25. The twenties are generally black.

Okay, so I stumbled across this thread and thought "Hey, what a perfect idea for dyed Faux Clay cash and tourney sets!"

I have the cash set determined:
Pink $0.25
Blue $1
Yellow $5
Black $20

I have three quarters of the tourney set determined:
Purple T25
White T100
Yellow T500

What (if applicable) are the cali colors for 1000 (and 5000) chips? I was kinda thinking sky blue for T1000 and gray for T5000 (even though gray seems to be among the traditional T5000 colors.)

Thanks in advance for the help.

Personally I do not see what the fuss is with standard colors when it come to custom chips. If you go with non-denominated chips, then yes this may be more important, but most home games have several players who have never set foot in a casino. Put your favorite colors and favorite insert patterns on denominated chips that will see the most use. Custom should mean custom.

I do not think there are standard CA colors above $100, but most $500s I have seen were some shade of beige or peach.

Well said! I concur.
