What's the default for double twelve dominoes?

Most double-12 domino sets come with pips or dots instead of written numbers on the tiles. This is because dominoes historically have always just displayed dots. Most game sets and apps use color to further differentiate the domino tiles, but there are no stock colors or standardized styles.

The dominoes will ultimately match whatever the developer or game developer wants. However, because double-12 dominoes include more dominoes than a standard domino set, it can be hard for seniors or kids to quickly discern the number on the dominoes.

Children, for instance, might be better served seeing the numerals to help with cognition and understanding or learning their numbers. Seniors may struggle sitting at a round table and seeing the game play out with increasingly distant tiles, straining their vision.
