I've ordered RIOT a few days ago and once I made the gimmick, I noticed that the color of the gimmick looks like a brand new deck of cards while my blue Bicycle cards look like "eww."

My red rider back cards are not as bad, but still darker than the gimmick? What can I do about this? :confused:
 
Yes, new bicycles are bright white. The oils and dirt from your hands and surrounding environment discolor the cards faster than you might imagine.

You could also just try to handle the gimmick until it is discolored itself.
 
Haha ok thanks. I tried clenching my fist tight and then rubbing the gimmick but it failed. I think I might use photoshop or something to color the gimmick darker. Thanks for the info! :D
 
I wish I could be more help, but I don't own Riot so I don't know what the gimmick is. Generally, when I have gaffed cards or whatever, I work with them in the deck a bit so that they get worn in as well. Or you could just buy a new deck, they're pretty cheap in the US.
