Answer:

The 1-ball is solid yellow!

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the numbers and colors of pool balls are standardized.

Pool balls are always numbered 1-15, with 1-7 being solid colors, 8 being black, and 9-15 being striped colors (typically a white background). the cue ball is white. Shades of colors may vary, but are as follows:

1 and 9: yellow

2 and 10: blue

3 and 11: red

4 and 12: purple

5 and 13: orange

6 and 14: green

7 and 15: burgundy

Occasional color exceptions:

- Pool balls 3 and 11 may be pink instead of red

- Pool balls 7 and 15 may be tan instead of burgundy
