In a recent practice or friendly (is there such a thing) frame of pool, I broke-off and potted both a yellow and red. One of the other 6 remaining reds on the table wobbles in the jaws of a corner pocket, followed by the black and a yellow (how the red didn't drop is anyones guess). Meanwhile, the white-ball has been surrounded by yellows. I dearly want reds, but can not see one.
My question is this, can I nominate reds? If I do, straight away I am totalled on all reds? Does this make a differance?
Yes you can nominate reds declaring a total I believe that even if you fouled by not getting out of the snooker you would still be reds because your break was legal. If you had only potted a yellow, nominated red then fouled it would be an open table

Saxtonator is correct.
If you pot a colour on a legal break you can stay with that colour no matter what, I can't think of a single exception to that rule. Switch colours and it is decided after a legal shot to pot a ball of that colour, don't switch and you are that colour from the moment that you tell the ref/ opponent, I don't think that you would even need to play any shot- legal or not. If the clocks were running then you could tell the ref and then time foul, you'd still take that colour.
