there will be a lot of opinions on this.
but for me i now play on Diamond blue. its fine.
but i played for years on gold and liked that the best..
with gold the table seemed brighter.
Tournament Blue.
There is no competition. I don't like any other color for a cloth, and this comes from me, a person who dress and owns exclusively black items with white accents. All my clothes are black and white, my bed sheets are black, my bath towels are black, my playing cue and my break cue is black and white, my case is black.. When and if I ever can afford a table, I'll have Simonis Tournament Blue.

I have a Simonis Tourney Blue table, used to have a Spruce Green. For actually playing pool the lighter colors for me are better, like Tournament Blue.
I always thought that gold would be the best for playing on, but keep getting talked out of it by the Pool table guys, so I never have tried it.
I don't like red at all.
My home table is gold cloth. I can see much better on gold and tournament blue tables.
I play leagues in the bars on green cloth with marginal lighting. Hard to see the table and balls clearly, and lots of shadows. When it comes time to put new cloth on my home table, I'm considering putting green felt on it ..... so my practice might translate better to the green bar tables for league play.
I hate when I miss shots on dimly lit green tables, when those same shots seem easy on my home table.

This.
A bit brighter in subdued light than the classical green makes seeing the balls every so slightly easier.
Tournament blue.Had green and I like the blue better
Strange, Philly....for me, grey cloth is the worst conditions for me....I go blind on it.
Spruce and any dark cloth I just dislike...
...red and tangerine I can play on but I think they are revolting.
Yellow, tan, green, and blue are fine for me...if they are traditional shades.
Oh god ya and if you have red chalk I won't go into what the cue looks like
Blue seems to be the standard now , Simonis being the standard but I'm seeing other cloths being used Andy being one of them

I grew up with green. I think a pool table looks wrong if it doesn't have green. Period.
But I like playing on blue better. Much easier on my eyes. That's just my opinion. When I get a table, it's tournament blue all the way.
But I miss green.
Red/Gold/Pink/Purple/whatever pairs well with a Budweiser cue, IMHO.

Depends on the table and the room it is in. A competition table always looks better with blue imo, a classic wooden home table always looks better with green to me. Playing wise...the only thing that matters is the lighting
And, of course, the quality of the cloth itself.
Tournament blue for me, really helps in seeing the balls. One of our rec rooms had 2 of the 4 tables redone in TB now they are the first to be played on. Room is a bit underlit and the lighter cloth really makes a difference.
