What Makes Colored Vinyl Special?

Whereas conventionally recorded records are always created with black PVC, coloured vinyl records utilize dyes or pigments to create eye-catching variations. But they're not merely a cosmetic thing, numerous collectors say there are also subtle variations in sound and sound quality.

Benefits of Colored Vinyl:

• Visual appeal: Swirling designs, bold colors, and theme-based shades impart a touch of artistic character to the music.
• Limited editions: The colored vinyl LPs and 45 records often come out as limited editions, thereby enhancing their collectibility and desirability.
• Conversation Starters: Ideal for exhibiting, gifting, or creating a visual display with your turntable setup.
• Purity of Materials: Some believe that clear or milky-colored vinyl is less likely to contain impurities than black vinyl, resulting in slightly purer-sounding playback.

Is colored vinyl superior to black vinyl? In certain situations, yes, particularly when you're adding something as distinctive as a wrapped in red vinyl edition of a holiday staple or a splatter-style LP reissue of a cult favorite.

We provide several categories of colored vinyl:

FAQs About Colored Vinyl

Q: Will colored vinyl sound as great as black vinyl?
A: Yes, in most cases. Certain colored records, particularly those with clear or solid colors, may have less filler than black vinyl and thus provide a cleaner sound. Sound is actually more based on pressing and mastering rather than color, though.

Q: Are colored vinyl 45 records worth more?
A: Sure. Limited edition and specialty colors tend to increase collectibility and value. Rare merchandise and condition also have a major influence on value.

Q: Can I play colored vinyl on any turntable?
A: Yes! Just keep your stylus in proper condition and ensure your turntable is well-balanced for optimal listening.

Q: Does coloured vinyl warp more easily?
A: No. Similar to black vinyl, colored versions will warp when subjected to heat or left uncared for in storage. Store vertically and out of sunlight at all times.
