When playing Texas Hold 'Em Poker, Omaha Hold 'Em Poker, or any game that involves chips as currency, it's vital to know what each chip is worth.

The two lists here show the standard amounts assigned to each chip color. The first list includes only the five most common colors; the second list includes a total of 13 colors.

Basic Poker Chip Colors and Standard Values

White, $1
Red, $5
Blue, $10
Green, $25
Black, $100

There are some variations to these denominations (e.g. I've seen green played as $20 occasionally), but I believe this list fairly reflects the generally accepted value for each color of Poker chip.
