FOR THE WIN – Sure, Roger Federer may be one of the world’s best tennis players.

But is he the utmost authority on what color a tennis ball is?

In an answer to one incredible fan’s question that should have ended the debate, Fed said that tennis balls are yellow.

BUT ARE THEY? LET’S KEEP THIS DEBATE GOING.

From the best expert advice ever emailed unsolicited to For The Win by a spokesperson:

“Asking if a tennis ball is one color or the other, yellow or green, is like having to decide if the ocean is green or blue,” according to Behr paint color expert Erika Woelfel. “With color, it doesn’t always have to be such a simple answer. In this case, it’s both! Or, as we like to call it: chartreuse.”
