Benefits of technology

[0082]A golf ball of the invention incorporates color using the CIE CIECAM color appearance model which was developed based on human perception and permits the golf ball manufacturer to accurately predict how the average golfer will perceive a specific overall golf ball color shade under different viewing conditions. In this way, it becomes poss

Problems solved by technology

Such single lighting condition models present a significant drawback for choosing golf ball color, however, in that they fail to consider, address or account for how changin

example

[0143]In a prophetic example representing only one possible embodiment of the invention, a set of 12 golf balls are housed in a package assembly comprising a package defining one cavity and housing the 12 golf balls. A series of the golf balls within the set comprises 4 golf balls, each having an overall color appearance expressed in the CIE CIECAM color system for one of the 4 different colors of the set. The series of golf balls in this example is ordered in a color progression such that at least one of the a, b, h, J and C values, as defined in the CIE CIECAM color system, is different:

Golf ball n1 of the series has a CIE CIECAM red appearance wherein:

a1=72

b1=13

h1=10°

J1=44

C1=73

[0144]Golf ball n2 of the series has a CIE CIECAM orange appearance wherein:

a2=59

b2=58

h2=44°

J2=10

C2=82

[0145]Golf ball n3 of the series has a CIE CIECAM yellow appearance wherein:

a3=−2

b3=80

h3=91°

J3=85

C3=80

[0146]Golf ball n4 of the series has a CIE CIECAM blue appearance wherein:

a4=−28

b4=−60

h4=245°

J4=34

C4=66

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 972,709, filed Dec. 10, 2010, now U.S. Publ. No. 20110086728, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates generally to golf ball packaging incorporating a plurality of differently colored golf balls in a color progression.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Golf balls, whether of solid or wound construction, generally include a core and a cover. It is known in the art to modify the properties of a conventional solid ball by altering the typical single layer core and single cover layer construction to provide a ball having at least one mantle layer disposed between the cover and the core. The core may be solid or liquid-filled, and may be formed of a single layer or one or more layers. Covers, in addition to cores, may also be formed of one or more layers. These multi-layer cores and covers are somet...
