Traditional colors of the court
Most people tend to choose common colors for their Pickleball court. Blue and green are the most common colors.
However, according to USAPA, the courts can be painted with any color but it has to contract with the lines of the court and of course with the ball.
Jeff Gearheart said that in hotter climates, light-colored courts are more solar reflective and more in demand. He states that a light grey court could be 40 degrees cooler than a dark shade court. Pickleball balls are generally yellow or lime green. Having court colors that contrast this will result in better play for the players.
You can use reds, purples, blues and greens or any other color you want.
Coloring the stripes of the court
USAPA recommends white-colored boundary lines for Pickleball courts. The most important thing to keep in mind while coloring the boundary lines should always be the contrast of the court surface.

The most convenient and perfect method of application of lines is by using a line taping machine and then applying paint with a roller or a brush.
