Yes, this is perfectly legal. The problem though arises as they are quite hard to see and trickier to find than white ones. Paula Creamer uses a pink Precept Golf ball on Sundays on the LPGA Tour. In 2005 or so Nike made a black 'Nike One Black' golf ball which was used by one golfer on the 18 th hole in a PGA Tour event, he said he could hardly see it once he hit it and said he'd never use it again. These black golf balls were one off golf balls which were included in a dozen box of Nike One Black golf balls.

The R&A, which is the ruling authority for most golfing tournaments worldwide, maintains a list of balls that conform to tournament regulations. Many different coloured balls are included in this list - there is no rule that states a ball has to be white.

Yes, two notable examples. Paula Creamer has played and won on the LPGA Tour with a pink Precept Golf ball and Tim Clark has played on the European and PGA Tours with a yellow Srixon.

Are practice logo golf balls legal?

No, these balls are not legal for use in competition. This is because these balls are sold as practice balls so the manufacturer does not make a request to R&A and USGA that they be added to the list of conforming golf balls, if they are not on this list, you can't use them. But I have seen people play with them in club competition and everyone seems oblivious that they are illegal.
