If there was another ball in snooker, what colour would it be?

Where does it go on the table

there is its orange

WHERE'S THE LIGHTGOLDENRODYELLOW GOIN'?

orange

A totally transparent one would be good

Theve allready got 1

I havn't seen it

red

another white would be interesting

black with a red spot on its forehead

There will never be another Jimmy

West Indian guy,terrible acne

orange would clash with red i reckon

gold or even grey  for me at 7/2

was just gonna say 'if no one minds I'd like to answer the question' but Coach has at least had a go.
The answer is purple - it's got to be an opaque(?) colour. Metallic would present manufacturing issues, I think.  Consistency would be harder to achieve.

half white half black

grey would be nice too (^^^^) but most people have a wrong 'oh thats boring' reaction to grey.

very yin-yang I like it

A Pastel colour, perhaps Fuchsia Pink in the hope of mispronunciation by the commentator.

WHERE'S THE PURPLE ONE GOIN'?
missus

Kissing the Purple?

Black and white stripes.

Quality question!

A lot of times asking the right question is better than finding the answer.

forgot about purple (or even lilac) 

purple is the way forward

looking at the cheeks of your smiley Coach - Cerise

orange, I'd give it 3pts and move the rest up.

Cerise is an awful colour 

they used to have cerise paint in the diy shop  for 20p a tube or a pound a tin - was a permanent fixture -

diy = dont involve yerself

tartan

a tartan the table sounds good

WHERE'S THE PURPLE ONE GOIN'?

Trying to get the Purple to balk

They trialled a game years ago with 2 extra colours, orange and purple.
Orange (8) went between the blue and pink, and purple (10) between the brown and blue.

Snooker Plus introduced in 1959

they would have sold EVEN  more colour tellys

Snooker plus (sometimes spelled snooker-plus) is a cue sport based on snooker. The variant was created by Joe Davis, who added an orange ball (8 points) and a purple ball (10 points) to the set. The idea was that this would increase the maximum break from 147 to 210, and so help to attract a greater audience.


210 instead of 147.  Never mind Wembley arena, they'd need Wembley stadium.

Indigo - commentators nightmare in goes the indigo

And for those viewers watching in balck and white, the pink ball is just behind the green.

*black* this ruddy laptop spells stuff wrong deliberatly just to spite me.

There already exists an orange ball in 9 ball pool so that is the obvious one to pick.

There's also a maroon and a purple one Slippy ffs!

I think purple was actually used at one point.

beige

Or biscuit.

I'd be tempted to lay a tricky snooker behind the puce.
