Even though coloured vinyls are pretty, I am concerned about how bad they may sound depending on the pressing.

 

I don't think the red vinyl matches the new album, and purchasing a white/transparent vinyl would be only an aesthetic matter, right? Wouldn't the standard black vinyl be the one that sounds the best?

My UO (the white/transparent one) vinyl sounds just right, although I don't like usually buying vinyls from there because of the quality. However, this one sounds just fine.

there's endless discussion about this but no definitive answer. black vinyl is also colored vinyl, since carbon black is added to the PVC; since it's also an homogenizing agent, it helps reduce noise and wear, and apparently most other pigments aren't as good in that regard - mostly bc colored vinyl is usually just a gimmick and there's no real push to come up with additives that can replace carbon and improve quality (but would also increase the cost of production). so it would mostly depend on the pressing & basically on how 'audiophile-friendly' a given band or artist is. what definitely sounds terrible are picture discs though, those are a waste of money (sonically, anyway).
