Jim and I have this on going debate in our house. We can't seem to agree on the color of a tennis ball.
Let me ask you: Is a tennis ball green or yellow?

Why not just compromise and call it grellow:) I actually prefer to play with the pink ones! They help support Breast Cancer Awareness. Of course, my doctor has forbidden me from any activities - especially tennis.
Wanda says yellow. Dave says green. In researching I found this interesting fact. "Big Bill Tilden was clocked at 163.6 mph on a serve. Officially the ball is yellow.
I asked on of my group of 5th graders today and it was 11 green, 3 yellow - I still think they are crazy. One of the mentioned that it is yellow when new, then turns green. I can kinda see that response.

Disregard the last two comments. Some one, Jim, thought it would be funny to corrupt this very scientific poll. :-)
Correct, not corrupt.
yellow.
Maybe it's weird Perdue genes, but I have to go with green.

People it is NOT green! It is ALL yellow!
Tennis Balls are chartreuse 50%yellow and 50% green.
Well thanks a lot! This has prompted a long discussion in my office.

Mom says green, dad says yellow. And the madness continues!

Amber, I read that the other day online. I think that could be the reason it looks different to everyone. However, I find this all so very funny.
Def. Yellow!
