white=1000
light grey=600-800
green=600
maroon=320-400
brown= 280-320
This info is from a 3M Chart. Hope this helps.

Biggest advantage, quick and easy cover adjustments just prior to a set starting or inbetween sets.  The spinner route gives much better results, but these are the quick and easy route when the time or tools are lacking to do it correctly.  

You tend to find the other colors at hardware stores, or if you order the top of the line Lanemasters, they give you the gray and burgandy, along with cleaner and polish.

Most ball companies today are using Abralon Pads.  They may be more expensive, but many feel they do a better job.  There is also another brand called Superpad foam.  They are a little less expensive then Abralon, but also do a good job.
