The colour is important because it needs to provide a good contrast between the floor, walls and background colours of the playing area.

Traditionally, the surface of a Table Tennis table was green or grey, but to make them better for television audiences, there was a period of experimentation with different colours during the early 1990s.

A Matt blue colour was eventually chosen, primarily because it complements the (reddish) colour of the floor covering which is now used for all the top tournaments.

The International Table Tennis Federation now only authorise blue or green tables.

One side must be red, the other must be black. This is because, before the rule was introduced, some players would out very heavy spin on, then on the next shot, would do the same, but with a rubber with little spin. The opponent expected the ball to have spin on it, but it didn't! It also confused the spectators, causing them to abuse some players for missing an easy shot.
