Sure no prob if you can find a table with that nice red cloth to use your red chalk on.
This should make it simple:
Blue cloth = Blue chalk
Green cloth = Green chalk
Tan cloth= Tan chalk
Gray cloth = Gray chalk
Black cloth = Black chalk
Red cloth = Red chalk
-Kat,
im sure tho everyone will agree..that blue or green chalk on the opposite color blue or green cloth isn't nearly as bad as say a black on tan or red on tan lol....i'd be pissed lmfao....or red on green....omg...i'm already getting upset lol
Roger that GG. And I am not always serious for instance > 'nice red cloth'. Why ? That red cloth throws my whole game and mojo off and I don't have much to begin with. HaHa.
I have played them all... I like blue/green. Well like everything here, it's personal preference and to each their own. I do think black looks sexy but is odd to play with unless it's on your lady.

I need an aspirin. My blood pressure is skyrocketing!
While I'm usually anal about appearances, pool is where I care zero about appearance and everything about performance. If anything, I'd rather people use a different color chalk so we know when the table is gunked up and needs to be cleaned.
Also I use Kamui chalk. I'm not buying one of every color for every table I might play on, that stuff's expensive. Use good chalk and polished balls and the amount of chalk that ends up on the cloths is negligible anyway.

I had a orange cloth so I have orange chalk. Recovered the table with Samonis Blue and still use the orange chalk because I have a lot of it but actually found helps me see the chalk easier and remove it.
Those that say the different color chalk makes the table dirty is the same as saying don't get white seats in a car becasue they get dirtier faster. The dirt is still there so remove it.
Ha sorry about getting you worked up with my topic.
. I went to shoot today at a near by hall (and get a free polishing for my home balls) and the chalks that came with the green table I was on we're green and blue. I guess it doesn't matter there. :thumbup: I also won't leave a cube upside down on the rail and I'll tap excess chalk off my cue before I shoot.
Generally it's the people that can't play a lick bring that crap to the table.

STOP HERE!!!....white seats in a red or black Corvette. Oh Yea:thumbup::thumbup:
I think that it's up to the table owner's discretion and you should ask before using a different color chalk. I think it's called respect for the property of others.
The reality is that whether it's the chalk you see or the matching chalk you don't, there will still be chalk on the table.

Couldn't have said it better and I 100% agree.
The tavern that I shoot out of recently bought another table from a local bar that shut down. When the pool techs came out to resurface and maintain it, they found two handfuls of chalk inside the table. Ugh! I figure if you can't afford under $10 for a chalk holder then you should rethink whether you should be playing pool at all.
If you at your home, or a pool room owner insists that their house chalk be used because of the color, then they have an obligation to make sure the chalk is of a good quality and DRY. When chalk is not properly stored it can get damp and cause miscues. So if a pool room or friend wants me to use their chalk, they'd better make sure it's in good condition, or I'll take my own chalk out of my case and use it, regardless of the color.
Also, I have no problem with people leaving chalk on the rails, but not face-down. If someone does that I will wipe every rail on the table when it's my turn to shoot. They eventually get sick of my constant wiping and will pay attention to what they're doing and put the chalk down face-up.

Right
You are right about that. I helped out at the local Poolroom and the kids were bringing in red chalk, we had green Simonis. It was a lot of extra work trying to clean those tables.
The owners stopped it as there was no reason for them to use it.
I have green Simonis on my table and sometimes use Tan chalk on shafts that I am test hitting , the tan on green cloth is no big deal to clean.

One of my bigger pet peeves in pool. Chalk should always face up... .and please, stop "dumping" the balls out of the tray on to the table like a 5 year old.... just remove them quietly, it takes all of 3 seconds. yikes !!!
