Actually I think you are not quite up with the play.

The orange TT ball and the blue table surface were introduced some 
time ago for the purposes of television.  

Many players now prefer to play with the orange table tennis ball
rather than a white ball...and there are yellow balls in use too.

I always have an orange ball in my sports bag and swap it over if a
white ball has been provided. I find the orange ball much easier to
see than either white or yellow.
