What colour is a tennis ball?

[Pints]

Help solve an argument I'm having with Mrs Pints.

Is a standard tennis ball green or yellow?

I'm hoping to get consensus on this without the need for a poll.

A tennis ball can be any colour BUT an ATP competition ball has to meet certain criteria one of which is that it is Optic Yellow

Now the thing is that that yellow is somewhat greenish.

They used to be white when I were a lad.

They're yellow.

And strangely this isn't the first time I've responded to a "yellow or green" debate, but can't recall what the previous post was about.

At a bbq last weekend, 4 out of 6 said green. Not quite as simple as you'd think then!
