Do wives or husbands pick red cloth?

I credit Playboy and the like for all the red tables out there.....

The best is red cloth with green cushions which reminds me of the red green show. I dont know how much it was aired in the US, It's a Canadian cultural thing.. :)

Maybe one red rail and one green with a plaid cloth on the slate.
 
As an aside, I tend to use grey chalk all the time.
it makes almost “zero” mess and doesn’t make your hands dirty.
very very little residue on table that I have found.
(prefer green cloth.”

That may depend on what brand of chalk.

To recycle a comment on the same question:
"Red cloth would probably look good in an old west whorehouse."

Very apt. Part of what the lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows, in one-night cheap hotels pay for is time spent before and after in luxury surroundings. In Ulysses - Dublin 1904 - in Bella Cohen’s place (You might go farther and fare worse): the walls are tapestried with a paper of yewfronds and clear glades; In the grate is spread a screen of peacock feathers; gilt mirror over the mantelpiece; a shade of mauve tissuepaper dims the light of the chandelier. There is a gramophone and a pianola. If they had a pool table with red cloth, it would probably be the Lord Nelson, not the Unik.

Just because men are lesser aesthetic beings, it doesn’t mean that they don’t perceive quality subconsciously. A 14-year-old boy asked why my prices were higher than Goose, a very declined snooker hall that had been there for decades. I gave him a clipboard and said, “You can play for an hour free, if you can list 8 ways that this place is better.” He came back with a dozen reasons. Phil is still playing here 30+ years later.

Now THAT is absolutely brilliant marketing! I think I'd seriously consider buying a bridge or some swamp land from you ;-)
 
been a while since Ive seen one but back in the 80's , almost every bar had those red stretch on fuzzy tablecloths. someone spilled beer and the server would pop a clean one on without skipping a beat.

I was sitting at a table and a bunch of business people around, one took it on himself to hand out his business card. one guy asked if he could have a few, and the guy produced, His eyes lit up as he thinking he was making some progress if the guy wanted more than one. The guy took the cards, folded them in half and stuck them under one foot to make the table stop wobbling.
