A couple guys here that use Grass D.Tecs both tried and and didn't like Green (and they claimed to try it long enough for proper break in)
Wowzer!  There is now a break-in period for table tennis rubber COLOR!?  [How long does it take for pink?]

I don't think even Mjamja has reached that level of subtlety.

Thanks.

I'm curious what color they had used?  Did they say if the pips felt softer or harder?

It's quite possible red might be harder and slicker than the other colors, but also black too if they're used to red

I've seen some early samples of green topsheet, that was a complete flop compared to red / black of another brand (inverted)

Quality control does play some role in color dye.
I guess its just like a hairdresser dye skills, its not just some home diy that you can get the perfect mixture first time and with anything in production, you end result might not always be 100% the same.

If it is a simple process, and inventory/stocking keeping/pricing is not a concern, why we have only a dozen of rubbers with colour today.... there is 1607 models of rubbers on the LARC list today
