You can't even see the rails in that picture.
I find it hard to see the mouth of the pockets with dark color cloths...
Yes, the dark pockets contrast with the light colored cloth is a target that can be seen even in our peripheral vision - a critical factor in aiming/shooting.Interesting and important point.
Any dark color (dark blue, dark green or especially black) are strongly not recommended for serious pool playing. The biggest issues are how badly the burn marks will show up the darker the cloth gets. Burn marks are a natural unavoidable wear and tear issue with normal pool play that occurs on all pool cloths. The darker the cloth color is, the worse the burn marks show up.Time to recover my simonis 860 and thinking of black cloth. Does anyone have
it on their table and how do you like it. Don't like blue or green. Maybe a real dark blue but would like feedback on black.
Thanks
We used tan/camel Simonis in our pool room here once. I love the color for playing on, but it is no longer practical for a public poolroom to use - since so many players now use their own personal chalk - almost always blue. Blue chalk marks tend to leave permanent blue chalk stains in the camel colored Simonis, which is why we will never again use it here - although it's one of the absolute best colors to play on and no question hides the burn marks far better than any other color cloth we've ever used.I have had tan/camel on all my home tables, looks great and you don't get the ugly chalk all over your hands, at least you can't see the chalk on your hands.

Have played on black and really hated it, also once played at Northern Illinois Univ. and they had the tables in the school colors which are red and black, either red rails and black table or vice versa. Not very good.
do not use black or red........... horrible ........... use the light blue or the standard green

I ask everyone that plays on my table to use my Masters brown and have yet to have anyone bat an eye.
Then again, I have a great collection of unique, premium spirits with an open bar policy as well

Since the OP already said he didn’t want green or blue cloth.....
Don’t worry one second about chalk marks (or any burn marks from the cue balls) on the Simonis 860 Mocha cloth.... because Masters brown chalk is a PERFECT match and you will never have an issue. I ask everyone that plays on my table to use my Masters brown and have yet to have anyone bat an eye.

Given a photograph of a pool table in situ I could probably change its existing cloth’s colour in Photoshop to several different variations so one could ‘try before you buy’ so to speak.
I wonder if there would be a demand for that?
