lol you all get your panties up in a bunch about the silliest things. You mean to tell me you've never seen two balls looks really similar? after a while you run out of what you can do with colors, and with every company producing 10 balls a year you run out quickly!
As far as storm not copying things....
http://www.stormbowling.com/products/balls/virtual-mission-40they put mission in the name....the year the ebonite mission was made extremely popular.
Colors are bound to be similar....granted its a little early to almost copy the VG (they wont look exactly the same). Columbia never gets the same fine level of definitions between the colors that storm gets.
Also, orange, blue, and black is the single best color scheme I've ever seen in a bowling ball. The high contrast colors on opposite sides of the color wheel from each other are usually really good, but Purple+yellow and red+green just dont look as good as orange+blue.
Oh, and the storm natural color scheme looks just like the Brunswick Fury, and columbia scout urethane lol! By your argument storm shouldn't produce a black urethane ball because they are just trying to copy some of the best urethane balls ever made (black hammer and black rhino)
