Colored vinyl vs. Black Vinyl

We’ve had a few questions recently about the quality of audio on colored vinyl. Mainly, if the audio quality on colored vinyl is inferior to the audio quality on black vinyl. Even though there are some differences in the process of making colored vinyl, mainly dyes, there really isn’t a big difference in the modern production of vinyl records.

The vinyl resurgence has been one that many people have embraced. With this resurgence, the music industry has seen an increase in demand for vinyl records. This has spawned, a bigger demand for colored vinyl. Being different from the standard black vinyl, now you can have colored vinyl that is swirls or splatters and even pictures. The process of making colored vinyl has improved over the years and now you probably wouldn’t notice a big difference in the sound quality between colored and black vinyl.

So take your pick and choose the vinyl color that makes you happy. In some cases, the colored vinyl is a limited release, and could possibly increase in value over time. However, if you’re buying it for your own listening enjoyment, it really doesn’t matter. So rest assured That your audio will be of the highest quality that vinyl can provide regardless of the color.
