Color of Money
Billiards con film
Color of Money refers to cash, especially in large amounts that signal serious financial backing or stakes.
The phrase implies money that's real and ready—not promised or hypothetical: When I saw the color of his money, I knew he was serious.
The 1986 film *The Color of Money* popularized the phrase in connection with high-stakes pool hustling, where seeing actual cash on the table proves a player's commitment.
