Actually, the one-ball is yellow and the five-ball is that shade of orange.
Incidentally, most of the current rule systems for 8-ball (that is what you
were going for with the triangle-shaped rack, right?) do not require the
one-ball to be in front, only that the eight-ball is in the center.  Perhaps
you were thinking of 9-ball with the diamond-shaped rack, where the only
requirement is that the one-ball is up front.
