Abstract

A set of golf balls and package assembly, comprising: a package defining at least one cavity for housing a golf ball set; the golf ball set comprising a series comprising n golf balls, each having an overall color appearance of one of n different colors expressed in the CIE CIECAM color system wherein n>1; the series being 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. The invention is also directed to a method of making the set of golf balls and package assembly.
