correct. They were bright and crisp when they were issued they faided over time as did the chips from the Hollywood Casino Cruise from Fl (yes I know there were many others from all over the place).

The first chips, from the boat that sunk, were RTP chips not Chipco's. After the ship resailed as Club Royale 2 they ordered new chips from Chipco. The ship only lasted 4 months or so they never cared what happened to the chips after that (once they started fading). I think one day the original scans and photos of the chips will be the only true records we have of the what they look like.
