Simonis Cloth for Gold Crown IV

Simonis Grey (NOT Shark Grey) is my favorite color, by far. Unlike Tournament Blue, it doesn't look horrible after a couple of months.

T Blue looks great on day one and does go down hill👍

Also, the Grey Master chalk matches it quite well.

Here is a customer's 7' Diamond alongside his fully restored Gold Crown I:

It looks pretty good on the streams but i'm still a traditional green/tournament blue guy. Just think Simonis green with Centennials is the nuts for a pure traditional look

That's what I have now but its time for new cloth. Think I'm gonna do Tournament Blue then maybe try gray after blue gets fugly, or maybe back to green.
 
That GC I restomod reminds me of this. This blacked out look is the rage lately.

I’d say go grey cloth if that’s what appealing to you! You’re the one that has to play on it.

depends on which country you are in whether it will be gray or grey. choose wisely.

but never use the color white as it isn't a color.

It’s well documented that I can’t spell. However I’ve always wondered about this one, grey or gray. I always used gray as the spelling thinking grey was a name.

Letters are so complicated 😕

Thx

If you want to break down this here it is. My hair is frickn grey. The cloth on my frickn Professional is Grey. My nephew Greyhound (dog not bus) is grey.

Gray' vs. 'Grey': What is the difference?​

When it comes to spelling, it’s not all black and white

What to Know
Gray and grey are both common spellings for the various neutral shades of color between black and white. Gray is more frequent in American English, and grey more common in Canada, the UK, and elsewhere. This pattern extends to specialized terms such as animal species (gray/grey whale) and scientific designations (gray/grey matter). Greyhound, however, is an exception; its grey shares a lineage with an Old Norse word for a female dog.

It's all a bit... cloudy.

The color, or really series of colors, that range between black and white can be spelled gray or grey. Both spellings are seen frequently enough to seem familiar, making queries about which is correct very common. Of the two, gray occurs more frequently in American English, while grey is preferred in Canada, the UK, and elsewhere. Both derive from the Old English grǣg.
“Fifteen-year-old Jo … had a decided mouth, a comical nose, and sharp, gray eyes, which appeared to see everything, and were by turns fierce, funny, or thoughtful.”
— Louisa May Alcott (US), Little Women, 1868-9
He was a tall, lean man of fifty, with a drooping moustache and greyhair.
— W. Somerset Maugham (UK), The Moon and Sixpence, 1919

'Grey' vs. 'Gray' Beyond Color​

The variance in spelling carries over to animal names and other specialized terms that apply the word, such as gray/grey whale, gray/grey squirrel, and gray/grey matter.
Despite the American preference for gray, the spelling grey retains a healthy presence in a lot of cultural references known to Americans, appearing in brand names like Grey Poupon (mustard) and Grey Goose (vodka), both of which originated in France. The titles Grey’s Anatomy (a TV drama) and Fifty Shades of Grey (an erotic novel series by a British writer, E. L. James) have spellings that play on the names of characters named Grey in those works.
The slender breed of dog known for its racing abilities is called a greyhound, and its name is consistently spelled that way. But the name's etymology does not pin that grey on its color; it derives from an Old English word, grīghund, the first part of which is distinct from grǣg and shares ancestry with a Norse word for a female dog.
 
I saw the gray cloth at the Mosconi cup in 2022, loved it. However, I used the Championship 30/30 Steel Gray as it wears much better than the Simonis in my experience. Easy on the eyes, as there is no clashing colors as there are with blue and green.
