colored vinyl
Pigmented LP material
Colored vinyl refers to phonograph records pressed in colors other than standard black—red, blue, clear, splatter patterns, or picture discs with images embedded in the plastic.
Collectors prize colored vinyl for its visual appeal, though some audiophiles claim black vinyl offers superior sound quality.
The term appears frequently in record store listings and limited edition releases: The album came out on limited edition colored vinyl.
