That's a different scene than the one to which he is referring. I looked at the Blu Ray and yes, it's got a lot of Red in it. The issue is it appears they were using location lighting while shooting the larger, wider shots of the pool room. The closer table shots are too dark. The cloth does not look that Green (in the Chalky's scene) when close. You can see a bit of Orange coming through the Red:

Just before the break, the shot is a bit wider (I have zoomed in here) and the lighting a bit better. You can see the Orange 5 Ball on the far side of the 3rd row.

In that picture there must have been some sort of a filter on the camera. 9 isn't as yellow as it should be. I don't think it's a unique set of balls because the 5 is orange on the previous video.
