Just get the standards to start and use the values most have for cash or tourneys with a chart


white -1
red -5
blue -10
green -25
black -100

and then some orange, purple and other colours can be added as you see fit.

Go to home poker tourney and look at the PDF chaarts you can download.

go with dollars.
$10

$100
$500
and if you're feeling frisky...
$1000

if you're playing with chips marked as cents, then just use the coins.

imho

If you must have denom chips, then the standard is; 1/5/25/100/500

I personally prefer non-denoms, then I can make them whatever I want them to represent, because I hate going from a 500 chip to a wasteful 1000 chip.
My 1000 poker chip set colors represent; white = 1 / red = 5 / green = 25 / black = 100 / purple = 500 / yellow = 2500 / pink = 10,000.

This set-up works very well in all my home games, both cash games and tourneys.

Here's a list of colours:

Values: 10c/25c/50c/$1/$5 and (both or either, undecided yet) $10/$25
I'm thinking of
10c White
25c Royal Red
50c Horizon Blue
$1 Black
$5 Laker Purple
$25 or $10 Canary Yellow
Thoughts on colours/values plz!

4 people have posted about how I should not get denoms/change denoms. THIS IS A CASH GAME SET, SPECIFICALLY FOR MICRO/SMALL STAKE CASH GAMES.

OMG

Royal or Blood Red, can't tell from the pic
Laker Purple, even though I hate the name
Black
Light blue

Might get Hourton Blue and purple if the Laker Purple doesn't contrast very well with the black

Others: white\orange\forest (or dairy) green

Not sure what help you're looking for here.
