Does colored vinyl sound as bad as picture discs?

You buy a picture disc for the picture. All bets are off regarding the sound.

All vinyl is coloured with something, since vinyl is colourless when produced. The 'black ones are coloured using carbon black.

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.

I don't think the colour of an LP is any more relevant to playback on a conventional turntable than the colour of your speakers or the colour of the shirt you're wearing when you listen. On the other hand if you're using one of those exotic laser turntables, then it is plausible that the colour of the medium could affect the reading ability of the laser.
