Since 1972, the International Tennis Federation mandates that the tennis ball should be yellow. The problem is that the fluorescent yellow is very close to the boundry where green starts. A Twitter poll asked respondents if tennis balls were yellow, green or other. Of nearly 30,000 participants, 52 percent said a tennis ball is green, 42 percent said it’s yellow, and 6 percent went with “other."
It depends entirely on the intensity and colour of external lighting.
Also, they're yellow. They only appear green because the fibers that make them up isn't perfect at blocking light and the semi-transparent glow makes it LOOK green in the way making any colour neon cranks the saturation up to 300 on a 255 scale.
I forgot the lighting part but I figured maybe the fabric tint had a pretermined reference color that was already scanned or maybe there would be some sort of "neutral", almost perfectly white light and background professionnals agree on...
But I'm gonna take your answer, thanks!
