Lol..........
NFHS says it has to be white (1.8) All lines on the field shall be white and marked with a material that is not injurious to the eyes or skin. Lime or caustic material is prohibited.
USSSA does not specify white for the lines but does specify colors for bases, balls, etc: Sec (1.2) All lines on the playing field shall be marked with a material, which is not injurious to the eyes or skin. Lime or caustic material of any kind is prohibited.
Other rule books may vary.

Sometimes you think that's what the umpires are seeing now.
I was thinking Light Pink. Each year our team has a Pink Out game that raises awareness and money for breast cancer research. We have a lot things planned before and during the game. Didn't know if tinting the lime was against the rules. We'll keep it white.
Crabby said Asa and USA do not state lines need to be white, make them pink.

We've seen this done several times for cancer awareness games. I don't think that even the biggest stickler for the rules would say a word about this regardless of the sanction you are playing in for the game.
