  Does colored vinyl sound as bad as picture discs?
I tried searching for this, but didn't find an answer.

I know picture discs suffer in terms of AQ; do colored LPs sound worse than regular (black) vinyl as well?

I've bought 2 picture disks (one on purpose, one on accident) and they both are awful. One of them is even out of tune (how do you screw something up that badly?).

Never noticed a problem with colored vinyl. Bad sounding colored vinyl would likely be bad sounding if it were black too.
