Unless the situation has improved immeasurably, I was under the impression that colored vinyl, although cool looking, adds unwanted inclusions to the pressings [read: ticks, pops, swishes, etc.]
I may have bought 2 or 3 dozen colored-vinyl LPs over the past several years and have found no higher percentage of surface noise over black vinyl. However, my experience with picture discs has been different—more noise on those. Perhaps I’ve been unlucky, but I tend to stay clear of them for the most part now.
