When the kids at the local tennis club start playing with normal balls, they call it 'yellow ball'. So I'm saying yellow.

wtf, how can anyone think they're green? They're infamously yellow, surely?!

3CCC · 25/03/2021 19:26

Neon yellow

'Optic yellow'

I'd have said it's a greenish yellow rather than a yellowish Green.

Luminous yellow?

Daydreamsinglorioustechnicolor · 25/03/2021 19:29

Definitely yellow.

Yellow.

They start on red ball, then orange, then green, then yellow.

Yellow.. Men in general have terrible colour sense..

My husband I have a similar argument about teal

If you were colouring in a picture of a tennis bell what crayon would you choose? Yellow.

Mumtwoboys90 · 25/03/2021 19:36

Georgieporgie29 · 25/03/2021 20:21

Florescent Yellow.

Off to see what others have said.

SwanShaped · 25/03/2021 21:00

Chartreuse yellow??

catmandont · 25/03/2021 21:07

They're yellow. Junior tennis (uses slower balls) starts with a red ball, then orange then green then at 11 you go onto 'yellow ball', so the standard ones are supposed to be yellow 😁🎾

My DH swore blind for years that our black wheely bin was blue. Every week he’d say, “Is it blue bin day today?” and I’d say, “No, it’s black.” Funnily enough, now we’ve moved we do have a blue bin for recycling and suddenly the main bin is black 🙄.

Tennis balls however are yellow 🎾

Tambourina · 25/03/2021 22:51

Yellow

IaltagDhubh · 25/03/2021 22:55

Yellow. Unless it’s been left outside for a few weeks. Then it’s faded to pale dirty green.

MiddleClassMother · 25/03/2021 22:55

Yellow...

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 25/03/2021 23:17

Fluorescent Yellow is more common now, but traditionally, they were green.

My office is near the tennis court at work. I see plenty of the things, usually once recovered from where fox cubs have been playing with them for a few days.

Greeny yellow
