What does ‘black ball’, ‘white ball’, and ‘orange ball mean in basketball?

I was watching a basketball anime, "Kuroko no Basuke," and I noticed that sometimes when the ball goes out of bounds or during specific situations, the referee shouts "black ball," "white ball," or "orange ball." I'm not sure what these terms mean. If anyone could clarify their significance, I would greatly appreciate it! (I realize this is the second time I'm asking about basketball in a row—perhaps I've found a new favorite anime!)

The “color of ball” the ref is declaring reflects the color of the uniform on the team who gets the ball.

Honestly, I have never heard of those terms in street, high school, college, or pro ball. It’s probably a Japanese thing.

The color of the team. Fot example if a red team was playing a blue team and the red team threw the ball out of bounds, then it would be blue ball

when they said white ball, the team in the white jersey gets the ball. When they called black ball, that mean the team with the black jersey gets the ball.

That’s referring to the color uniform of the team that will inbound.
