    I'd go for blue personally for a pool table, especially for american pool/spots & stripes.

    Get rid of that wine colour ASAP. :)

    Black is a real f00ker to keep clean; All the chalk really shows up a lot, needs constant brushing;

    What colour is the wooden frame on the table?

    Would a secondhand 8ft Brunswick table be a better buy than the 9ft Vegas?

    All depends on the space you have available; if you vave the 19*15 room go for the full size 9ft table IMO;

    Think on the cloth if you go for blue go for a royal blue cause a dark blue would be too dark with the colour of the frame;

    So when are you inviting us around for the session to break in the table?
