WNT Florida Open: New Cloth Color?

I’ll never understand why Blue became the color. I’ve heard all the theories that are quantifiably untrue. Green is far and away the most aesthetically pleasing and takes more abuse from patrons too. Blue looks “good” for like 3 days maybe.

BRING BACK GREEN
Aesthetically is purely your opinion .. I think blue looks much better but I’m fine with blue or green as long as it’s not red. Lol
 
Respectfully disagree. Tournament blue was chosen after a scientific study of colors and contrast. Not an accident that the US Open Tennis tournament surface is practically the same color.
Tennis doesn't use blue colored balls. For me, both the 2 and sometimes the 10 can lose their edges a bit on the tournament blue cloth. Really, any of the darker colors can be problematic at times, especially under substandard bar lighting. Lighter cloth colors provide much better contrast across all used pool ball colors, and most lighting situations.

I'll arrive at the Florida Open on Tuesday afternoon and I'm staying until the event is over. I hope any AZBers in attendance that I've yet to meet will introduce themselves.
I will arrive Tuesday targeting 11am and will probably stay until late afternoon. I hope to see you there again this year.
