Seeing all the dice together it does make it hard to come up with a guess of what would be an interesting colour this year.

I have to say that looking through all the previous versions I like less than half of them. There have been some real ugly and hard to read colour combos over the years.

I was driving to a tournament with three relatively new coaches who thought that the white ones must be the most rare, as only one coach in our league uses them.

We mostly use store copy/scratch-built/third-party pitches, so I guess they honestly didn't realize that white block dice come with the set.

I think orange through light green were all legible and reasonably good-looking. Bit of a step backwards last year, though.

THe only purples we have are the pink misprints so a nice dark purple with white inlay would be nice.

Or ivory with black inlay - I think someone else mentioned that one.

Only hard to read combos in my view are the dark green/red and last years - no problem with any of the others.

*Holding my hands up for the green/red.* Back then we didn't run test samples as is done today. I re-coloured mine with white in the inlay and then over again with red. There's a marked improvement in visibility and they are much closer to what was intended. The purple/pink were supposed to be darker... think Minnesota Vikings shade of purple.
