Definition of Colored Balls

Colored Balls is a billiards term that is a part of Snooker Terminology.

In a snooker ball set, the colored balls are all of the balls that are not reds or a cue ball. The colored balls are normally the object balls after a red has been potted, and when a colored ball is potted, the colored balls are normally re-spotted. After all reds have been potted, the colored balls become the object balls in the following order: -yellow ball (2 pts) -green ball (3 pts) -brown ball (4 pts) -blue ball (5 pts) -pink ball (6 pts) -black ball (7 pts) In Blackball, the colored balls are sets of red and yellow balls. These correspond with the North American suits of stripes and solids.
