Blue tables?

[Zalinho]

The most clubs in germany still play at the moment on green tables, but in the most other countries, all clubs play on blue tables. Is there a rule in other countries to play on blue tables or what is the reason?
The number of blue tables in Germany is increasing more and more, too.

I don't think that different countries have different regulations for the table's color. Here, in Switzerland, approximately 50% of the Clubs play with blue tables and 50% with green tables, while more than 80% of the Clubs use yellow balls. I prefer playing on blue tables in combination with yellow balls. This leads to the best optical contrast! My ranking for the combination of tables with balls is as follows:
1. blue table & yellow balls (best optical contrast)
2. green table & white balls
3. blue table & white balls
4. green table & yellow balls (worst optical contrast)

The french rules say that the colour of the table must be "deep and mat (not bright)", so you can also play on red tables for examples .

With yellow balls I fear to become a blind man !!
And on the green tables I learned to play table tennis.
So I prefer for sure green tables + the old, white balls.

and the other with green or black.

Black tables? Really?

Wow, perfect contrast to the white balls...

Well, I learned playing tabletennis on green tables, too. My former club had only green tables and I played there for 6,5 years, so I got used to them!
The club where I play now also has got some blue tables, but I don't really like to play on them...

i prefer blue tables in combination with a black or blue net and a white ball.
Blue makes happy^^
Yellow balls are training balls for me. A point game with a yellow ball is IMHO unbelievable and i´ve never had one.

[Josip]

yes! blue tables, black net and white ball!

Yeah:
I have had a game with a orange ball on green tables,terrible,my partner told me that he would lose every game,cause he couldnt see the ball.
I hated it too,but not so much,like him.
I dont think that it is good to make it dramaticly,but perfect is it still not.
My ranking:

: blue tables+white ball
: green tables+white balls
green tables+orange ball
blue tables+orange ball

But most the orange ball is guilty.
