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.
Some of my colored vinyl sounds amazing, some does not, just like regular records.
I have a translucent red 150g Classic Records pressing of the Diana Krall Christmas album that sounds superb.

Ditto for a white 45 rpm direct-to-disc recording of Laurinda Almeida.

Those certainly laid my fears to rest. I'll take a Classic Records 150g red LP over their 200g black ones any time.
You buy a picture disc for the picture. All bets are off regarding the sound.
