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 yet to hear a picture disc that doesn't sound really noisy, so I avoid them. I tend to agree with the "thinner vinyl" explanation.

I don't have many colored-vinyl discs, but my red vinyl copy of "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips sounds pretty darned good.
