Yes no more pink or brown pool balls please. The seven ball is maroon, the five is orange, the four is purple and the cloth is tournament green!
I don't like the black balls.
I can get used to the purple 5 and I do understand that it looks better on TV but the black is too much....
And I agree, they should unify balls colors all over.
As for the cloth, I do like the new gray that they started using.

Not in this case its not. New ball colors SUCK. The CLASSIC colors seen on balls have been around for decades. Then some jerkoffs decide we need something new. WHY???? Seriously, other than to peddle ball sets to gullible newbs why change?? The Dynasphere Tungstens and the Aramith Tournament BLACK, for example, are some of the ugliest pieces of shit ever hyped to 'we need new colors' suckers.Change is good. It’s good for the brain. Having to re-learn a couple colors will keep the old timers of the forum to stay sharp.
Old dogs. New tricks. You guys can do it!!
Noted.
I love the passion!
Pink and brown are the worst. I have no idea why a pool ball should be pink or brown. I have come to like blue cloth but there is merit in keeping it green.
Green really isn’t that good. Sorry
It has b
Never has anything been more true and appplicable to so many things in life from artifacts, people & cues.
Therein lies the rub because if this is literally and universally applicable to all of us, the truth is plain & simple.
We all possess different and varying eyesight capability. My vision is 20/22 without glasses after undergoing
cataract surgery 10 years ago. So let’s accept the fact that if beauty is indeed determined by the eye of the
beholder, there are a lot of people, especially on this forum, that would benefit from a vision check. How come?
Just pay attention and read closely some of the dumb remarks posted by these vision impaired forum members.
And pool ball & pool table designs, cue cases and pool cues are often criticized and judged unfairly & inaccurately.
The color of pool balls should not change merely because a shitty color happens to appear better on a TV camera.

hello, because of snooker and their giant overseas audience and millionaire players (the pink is 6 points and the brown is 4)
they don’t have a purple or an orange which is why those got mixed up
My favorite color is clear.
Wait, wait, wait!This is the thread of the year
One caveat. The 5 ball must be orange!
The only reason I bought the Tungsten set was because of the price, I think I paid about $80 for them, personally I don't care about colors, especially in 8 ball, I understand a little bit more in rotation games but for me in the end I'll call the ball by color if I have to or make sure I'm hitting the lowest number ball on the table, the color of the balls don't make me miss.......well.....maybe.....

I played with a set of Dynaspheres the other day (palladium or platinum - the one with the blue dot cueball, so the Japanese ones), and it was the first time I have really got pissed off by this. Kept thinking the 6 was the 7 (Light blue and grey). 3 times in the set I hit the wrong ball first. All 3 times in the middle of break and runs, and not once did my opponent tell me I am cueing down on the wrong ball hahaha
You know, they have numbers on those things...
Having said that, I feel your pain!
