Championship Tournament vs Simonis color

[Skess]

Because of the trouble getting Simonis, I'm considering going with the Championship Tournament 3030 cloth instead. Problem I'm having is figuring out what the two blue options look like in real life. The online color charts aren't very good.

Does anyone have a picture of either of the blues (Electric or Euro) on their table?

It's not likely you will see the true color on any device. Look at a monitor, a laptop, a tablet, an Android, and an IPhone, they will probably all look different. And you can adjust the color by using different lighting over the table. Incandescent vs florescen vs LED for example.

Call Seyberts (or another supplier) and see if they can mail you a small piece for a sample. Or just go for it and buy it. I will say the blue used on the Championship Mercury Ultra is a good color.

Here is the 3030 that was installed by Trent at Miscue South in Toledo....

Thanks for the pics. The first pic looks pretty close the the Simonis Tournament Blue I've been using.

That is the felt I just installed and that is a good picture of the color.

You see? That's the problem. The two pics above could be absolutely identical. The type or intensity of the lighting is probably making it look different. Even the angle that the picture was taken could have an effect. Take the green Simonis we put on our table for example. Same light, different angles. Looks like two different colors, DOESN'T it? I assure you it is the same cloth, same lights, but different angles. It looked the same at both angles when looking at it by eye. The camera sees it differently. Cameras just dont work like a human eye does.
