Standard Simonis Green

ChrisinNC said:
Hard to understand how you think it could be took dark, when you look at Bob's photo of his beautiful antique Brunswick table with Simonis green cloth on it, but I guess everyone sees colors differently. You might consider either Simonis tournament blue or Simonis gold as two excellent options if you're looking for a brighter alternative, but still want a very good color to play on.

The problem is - and this is why I started this thread - is that sometimes Standard Simonis Green looks way different than my samples, or what I had on my table. Look at the pics in BOTH tables. See the difference? The first one is way too dark. The 2nd one looks fine to me, but that's just a pic. And how can that pic look so different from the 1st pic? And how can my sample in the initial post of this thread look so different from the Olhausen video???

Its a crapshoot. So I went with English Green again.

You can not tell the exact color by pictures. Every camera or phone I have used to photograph my table with makes my Simonis look a different color. Usually the picture looks more blue than the cloth does in real life.

For gosh sakes, unblock me and see my photos of the same table under the same cheapo light fixture that will totally solve this needless discussion.

It shows 860 on the table in both Simonis Green, then 2 years earlier in Simonis Blue Green.

I truly believe you'd have to go quite a way to get it any perceivable amount brighter.

I 'm actually trying to help you but you don't make it easy...
 
Bob, your photos of your Simonis green table are dead on the money accurate, and what a beautiful table! I'm sure he'll be happy with his snooker english green, although we both know it is clearly no brighter, if as bright, as Simonis green. Seems he already had his mind made up to go with the snooker green before starting this thread.
 
DCP, As a return for all the feedback given here, I ask you take a few pictures of your table in different lights onces its done. Lay the simonis green swatch on top of the english green table. Will give everyone a perfect side by side.

With different lights? And how exactly am I going to do that?

I have the standard green on my Diamond table installed 4 years ago . I am thinking the next time of going with English Green. Marc Gregory has used that on two Centennial's he has done and showed them both here on AZ.
It seems to be a lighter brighter color like used on Snooker tables.

I have one of those Mark Gregory Centennials. Mark talked me into the English Green and I'm glad he did. There will never be another color cloth on my table.
 
Finally - someone gave him the response he was looking for. Maybe we can now put this thread to rest!

xianmacx,

I wasn't trying to be a horse's rear end with my response. Just didn't see how I could use different lights.

And here's a pic - not the greatest - of when I had Standard Simonis Green put on my GCIV several years ago. See how dark it looks.

Lights can make a great difference....eight of our tables are Diamonds...we use tournament
blue on them.....one of the Diamonds also has the Diamond light shade...on that table
the blue cloth looked too pale...like an ashy gray-blue....
....we re-clothed it with emerald-green....it looks gorgeous now.

So you’re gonna have to work around your lights.
