Just pick the color you want on your pants. I have some Mobil 1 Red Synthetic I use for wheel bearings, so that's what I use on the WD hitch.
LOL....been there. One trick I use is after I unhook, I tie a WalMart or any other shopping bag over the ball either in a knot or with an elastic. Works like a charm and have been told at many a race track by others that they wish they thought of that before they ruined their pants. A little while later, I see those people tying bags on there hitches. Cheap...and easy!
And yes, I grease both the ball and cams with whatever grease I have lying around the garage or in the grease gun. I also always use gloves while handling the bars and wipe them down with brake cleaner when I get home.
