Colored vinyl
A colored vinyl record is and remains an interesting branch within the vinyl record industry. Some vinyl record collectors swear by it. Others won't have any of it. We at VinylCrafts? You can read that below.
History and introduction of colored vinyl
Where do those colored records come from and who started them? Colored vinyl records are actually not as new as you might think. The first colored records were produced early in the twentieth century on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
A side note here is: colored vinyl should be read as anything that is not a black vinyl record. Think of a brown/red color. Blue vinyl records were also soon produced. The purpose of these records? Actually the same as today's colored records: more noticeable than the black LPs. So from a commercial point of view. Although producers at the time claimed that the colored vinyl records would last longer or produce better sound. Standing out and selling is what matters, both now and in the past.

Colored vinyl in the here and now
Nowadays you have colored vinyls in all possible colors. Think of one color, or a double vinyl record album where each vinyl record has its own separate color. Multiple colors on one vinyl record? No problem! You can't imagine it being pressed. Do you already own a colored vinyl? Hang the vinyl record on the wall! In our black vinyl record frame and your colored vinyl it's a party on the wall.
Are there also disadvantages to the colored vinyl record? Some sources claim that a colored vinyl record reduces sound quality. This used to be the case, but nowadays you can safely buy a colored vinyl without the quality of the sound going down. One side note: glow in the dark vinyl records, transparent records and picture disks are still susceptible to lower quality, but this is not always the case. In any case, you need a trained ear to hear the difference.
