golf balls numbers

What is the meaning of the red numbers on GOLF BALLS?
Are they there for some unspecific reasons, or do they have a reason for being there? It doesn’t matter what brand of golf ball, they all have those numbers, often in red.
The majority of these answers are wrong. The colored numbers are not there solely for the purpose of identification of the ball. That is why the number itself is there but not why some are red and some are black. A red number means that the golf ball is 90 compression. A black number means that the ball is 100 compression. The red number being a softer ball than the an a ball with a black number. This way you can easily tell the difference between a Pro V1 and a Pro V1X. Another example is the TP
Red ball from taylormade, which has red numbers and is 90 compression. On the other hand the TP Black has black numbers and his 100 compression. This can be useful, if you know which compression ball fits your swing better when you find balls on the course you can know which ones you should keep, and which ones you shouldn’t bother with.
