I don't think there's anything inherent about the non-black colors themselves that makes records noisier, and it's been suggested that the translucent varieties may even have the potential to be slightly quieter than black or other opaque colors. Comes down to the quality of the vinyl used and the pressing process. But, nothing else compares with regular old black when it comes to ability to be visually inspected for cleanliness, with translucents and clear being the worst in this regard.
New Classic Records Coloured Vinyl
I just picked up 2 Diana Krall releases, the Xmas LP on Red Vinyl, and the From this Momement On, on white wax.
I noticed they are a bit noisy, ie surface noise. It got me wondering if Coloured vinyl suffers from the same lower quality as Picture Discs used to, where they were more for looks than for playing.
