Nicest ball polisher I've seen

I see three (more likely to make a 1 ball on the break, that way).
Yeah, not a complete set -- lots of 11/15s and no cue ball. But one of the one balls is actually an orange 5. In the old days, the 5 ball was orange. ;)

Bob is correct; one of the balls that appears to be a yellow 1 ball is actually an orange 5. Banger is also correct; it's a different orange than the 13.

I also thought there were three 1 balls. So, I brought the image into Photoshop and jacked up the Saturation to full. Sure enough two of the 1 balls stayed yellow and one turned orange. Of course, that blew out the colors of the other balls. So, I reset and isolated the selection on the 1 ball that is actually orange and then jacked up the saturation on that particular ball. In the picture below, you can see the result. I left the imperfections and colors-as-captured on the rest of the image. It's just the single ball that appears yellow but is actually orange. This is probably due to a combination of the limitations of the camera sensor and lighting.
