I find it hard to see the mouth of the pockets with dark color cloths... as for esthetics, it looks really nice

The only color worse than black is Red. So, you got that going for you 
Kind of like cars, they look great new, but black starts to show every imperfection in the paint, every swirl mark, every scratch, every nick sticks out like a sore thumb.
So, black is great for garage queens only driven 1,000 miles a year and hand washed every time.
So, if the table is upstairs and needs to look pretty and you want to spend a little extra time on cleaning, then go for it
But, if you are a player or trying to get better, I'd go with something you are more likely to play on a regular basis in league or tourneys, green or blue

the only color I think I'd like to have other than the tried and true traditional green and tourney blue would be tan.
For me personally, Tourney blue provides the best optical contrast for seeing ball edges.
To play on black cloth will undoubtedly be more visually challenging.

I agree. Definately not black, avoid dark red, purple.
Maybe grey or charcoal or pewter would work?

Played on a GC with black cloth.. yeah, don't do it !
A place in Santa Monica had purple cloth, equally
bad.
Like cRJ said...only color worse than black is red.
But seeing the pic of that BLK/WHT table above, red aint much else.

My brother has black felt on his 8' Olhausen in his basement with poor lighting. Worse shooting experience ever.
I'm with the crowd of the only color worse then black is red.
Good choice to choose a different color.

Yeah red is bad...Now imagine it on a snooker table. I really had no idea that someone
would figure, 'hey all the balls are red...lets cover it in red too!' TBH it was in a college
bar, but someone could of talked them out of it.

You can't even see the rails on that black table.
