R-1 on first base. B-2 hits ball down right side and F-3 catches ball close to the fence for the out. R-1 runs half way and retreats to first on the catch, racing F-3 to the bag. F-3 touches the orange part of the double base first, and R-1 is called out for a double play. Is this the correct call or must F-3 touch the white part of the bag for the out?

Colored portion of the bag only applies for plays on the batter/runner. Once the batter/runner has reached first or been put out, the double base becomes one big base.
