I think maybe you guys are talking about two different things? Picture Discs, (like Linda and Boston and many others) were never really meant to be played. I have quite a few that even came with a sticker or a note that said "not to be played".
Colored Vinyl is usually a solid color, (or two) with no pictures. I have many of these also. I have almost always found that the colored vinyl sounds worse and has more surface noise than standard black vinyl. Don't know why, but they usually do. I thought it had to be the process or the dye used to make them.
