I have many color vinyls and I do not hear any audible difference when compared with a black vinyl pressings of the same album from the same company.
In fact I love color vinyls I recently purchased a lovely red blue splatter color vinyl pressing of Bitches Brew limited edition release by Rough Trade and it sounds sublime and much much better then the last copy I had which was black vinyl.

Hi Syed
I have had a few albums from the Rough Trade label, a band called Warpaint being one of them and all on colour vinyl, Not one has been a bad copy. It's making me think that it could be down to the label or the band taking a bit more pride in the way their vinyl is made for the fans. I to love colour Vinyl (good recordings) In fact I think about 30% of my collection is in colour. I buy most of my music from small independent Record Shops so you do tend to get limited editions from them more than the big stores like Am---n I'm waiting on 4 new albums 3 of them on colour Vinyl from a small shop in Totnes Devon I love going to that shop, Had to order them for delivery this time because of the lockdown.

Ah - the joys of oddly-shaped records in different colours! If I remember correctly (it was a very long time ago, and I foolishly neglected to buy myself a copy), this was the definitive statement on That Sort Of Thing : |

Back in the day one of the first 12" singles I bought with my own money was Squeeze - Cool for Cats on Pink vinyl. I also had this one some years later...
Sadly both long gone. I bought a new copy of Miles Davis - Kind of Blue a while ago, and it turned out to be on blue vinyl. No detriment to the sound on this or the Rolling Stones double album Hot Rocks which is clear vinyl. |

Here's one of the best sounding non-black vinyl records I own. Actually make that one of the best sounding records I own, period. Mastering/mother plates are the same as the DCC edition, which sells for 3-4 times what I paid for this version.
