yellow, though as green is next to yellow on the light spectrum it makes sense that different people see the colour differently :)

I've seen typically the light green ones, never yellow but there are all sorts of colors in Australia, including pink and dark blue.

MindFuck.

I see the first one as a perfect example of the colour yellow. The second one, in comparison with the first one, is quite green. However, if I had seen that without the comparison, I would have called it a luminous yellow.

Well as everyone has mentioned the normal ones are yellow but there are a variety of colors. I personally usually see the greenish yellow ones where I live.

Trivia: Tennis balls were originally black or white, but studies found that fluorescent ("optic") yellow was the easiest color to see on a TV screen, which is why the sport shifted to the yellow ball that continues to be used in tournament play today.

So you see, even if it looks greenish in tint, it's not. It's yellow. Deal with it.
