Let's hear it. Love it, Hate it, Good for kite tails? It looks good on Mark Gregory's Centennials/Anniversary's. I'm giving it thought on a 9' black Diamond Professional.

Not available in 860 HR, otherwise I think I might have tried it in our poolroom. I am sure the balls show up really good on it!

For a home table .... mostly used for practice, 1p and points. HR not concern. Would look great in a pool room.
 
I tried Apple green on some of our tables in our poolroom, very strong green color, it works with old style of lamps, but Apple green is too strong as a color to use after we build our own Led-lamps that gives a perfect playing light all over the table.
When the table light is perfect you actually gets tired in your eyes after a while if the cloth has a strong color.
So, in my mind, all funny bright colors works good only with less good/old style table lights, modern led-lights works best with blue, normal green or grey color cloth.

So what style of lights are you using on your table?

Here is two pics from our poolroom, you can see that even with old style of lights on Apple green our roof gets green from the cloth reflection, and on the other picture you can see our own perfect light.

I disagree with part of that... I think the tournament blue is way too bright when using LED's. It's hard on my eyes in short order. When using "yellower" incandescent, it is tolerable.

Why not go with a lower temperature color LED? I’ve got nearly 200 with almost all in the 2700 to 3000 K range, never a complaint from guests or relatives who say they are sensitive to them.

I'm not the one who gets to choose the lighting at the local places.

And isn't the blue part of the spectrum supposed to be hard on your eyes? That is what the pigments in blue cloth are reflecting.
 
While I like the blue on my Diamond professional, my next recover will be gray. A friend that we play at has it, and I've really grown to like it.
Might be awhile though, as I cleaned my rails, and pocket facings with Quick-Clean the other day and my blue looks almost new again and now plays like new. The difference in play is astonishing.
Review in the products talk section.

Diamond Professional... I currently have a grey Simonis .... under a LiteSystem FinN. It looks real good and great to play on.
Also GC4 with a Gold cloth under 4 8' tubes
