Brunswick Centennial Balls

The set looks fine......I wouldn’t be concerned.

I remember seeing an old thread that said exposing the yellowish cue balls to sunlight will whiten them. Perhaps on a sunny window sill and turn them a bit after a day or two. I never needed to try......just passing it on. Curious to know though. Mitch

I believe that was the case. In that thread, I f you store the set in the dark they turn yellow. Place them in the sunlight and they will whiten.

leaving them in the sun WILL NOT WHITEN THEM. That is all.

I see that Subdude1974 deleted his add. I know at least 2 sets were returned.

my set is similar.

Same here.. off-white ivory color.

Seyberts is one of the sponsors this site and I give them a ton of business, but they do not sell Brunswick Centennial balls. I would recommend either Ken at Classic Billiards or CueStix International - both are reputable dealers that I have purchased
Brunswick Centennial ball sets from recently, and both have been fine (not yellowed).

I was not aware CueStix as being a dealer.

Uh..... I prefer the more ivory color to the brighter white. I think it looks classier. Bright white says cheap, counterfeit balls to me.

Like others have posted, I prefer the off white color that IMO adds to the design appeal which is bolstered by great colors and unique number display.
A stark white background would indeed render the appearance to resemble the look of Aramith's entry level pool ball set or some other inferior brand.

This made me curious, so I grabbed a camera and two references and shot the following. The color chart is a MacBeth form if any photographers care to use it to analyze (I did not), and the paper is just a piece of printer paper -- no promises it is pure white (but I promise the neutral sections of the color chart are). It's taken under LED lights, then adjusted in photoshop to produce neutral grey.

These were bought about a year ago from Robertson Billiards in Tampa, who is well known and reputable, and my impression goes through inventory fairly frequently.

Are they "right"? I have no idea, but I like them this way.
