I used a scanned photo of a professional set to sample the colors I
used to build up the image maps, so it might as well have gone wrong
somewhere. I do remember well that at least the pool club near my
place in Sofia has that poisonous orange color for the 1 ball.

I didn't know that. I copied the arrangement from the photo I
mentioned, though from what I saw on the 'net, you seem to be right.

No, I only play 8-ball.
