What color is a tennis ball?

Turns out people can't agree on the color of a tennis ball.

This reminds me of another thread poll: what color is Matt Damon's skin? Yellow or white? And does the (possible) yellowing involve the strain his body is under from those fem, bulbous ass cheeks?

Lime green.

Greenish yellow or yellowish green.

Uh, it’s yellow, retards. This is nothing like the blue/white and gold dress.

Please explain this post and how it resulted in a thread about tennis balls.

I remember when they were a buff color, kinda between ivory and ecru. No other colors available.

I too remember when the balls were white, as were the attire, the shoes, the players, the fans and the boys I liked to diddle

“Optic yellow.” Pffft! As if such a color even exists. They are chartreuse, but tennis people couldn’t abide the name’s association with, let’s just say interior decorators and florists, if you catch my drift. Lord knows most sports fans consider tennis to be fey enough without chartreuse balls.

“Tennis, anyone?”

See you at the club.

The people who say green are probably the same ones who pretended they thought the dress was white and that they only hear "yanny".

Yellow-green. More yellow than green, but not strictly one or the other. A blend.

"Optic Yellow" and white are the only colors approved by the ITF.

Optic yellow has always looked exactly like the Spring Green crayon to me, though I doubt it does to most people.

This is the photo on an article asking why tennis balls are yellow, and it doesn't look the least bit yellow to me.

To me, that's yellow [italic]heading towards[/italic] green, r40, but definitely, clearly, still yellow.

Or are you seeing fuschia?
