There is a disagreement about what color people say tennis balls are.

Some say green.
Some say yellow.
And a few say "other".

What color do you think a tennis ball is?

    This thread makes me think my whole life has been a lie.
    Because I thought they were green but they are in fact yellow.

    Yellow and white are the only colors approved by the ITF, and most balls produced are a fluorescent yellow known as "optic yellow", first introduced in 1972 following research demonstrating they were more visible on television.

    I always thought of them as what Crayola calls "yellow green"
