Can anyone post links or photos of actual pool tables with these colors?

I know I can look at a small square sample online, but that doesn't really help much.

Thanks!

Anything for a lady in distress!

You can also request a "swatch card" that has physical samples of the cloth, assuming you have enough time to wait for that to arrive.

Both the attached pictures above look like tournament blue to me. One is taking at a very shallow angle with bright light, making the cloth look lighter than it usually appears. Electric blue is darker. I much prefer the lighter tournament blue. Here's what it looks like on my table:

Franky, thanks so much for the nice big detailed picture! Now if only I could see an Electric Blue pic of the same detail!

By the way, does your table have a wood finish?

Its a Brunswick GC III so is has those laminated faux-wood rails. Here's a pic from install day prior to the rails being bolted on and pocket liner installation. You can see I had the copper colored pocket backings brushed to a light silver and clear-coated.

I like the darker Electric Blue, but the lighter Tournament Blue is real nice too. Both are very good choices in color. When using the standard blue chalk, chalk dust is not as noticeable.

Very nice, I love it! Are the pocket liners the low-profile ones, the kind that are easy to shoot off of?
 
They aren't in there on that photo but they are new, of the low profile variety and are non-marking. The only thing I have to watch out for are the edges of some of the metal backings...but thats what you get with a Brunswick, so I don't mind. :)

That's very cool. Can you post a link where I can buy those?
 
The electric blue looks color enhanced,

the Tour Blue looks washed out (not as loud).
