It’s because most of this new vinyl is being bought up by kids/teens...they like flashy colored vinyl...I can’t say that I have not bought some, not many. I generally stick to buying older vinyl, sometimes still sealed, mostly in VG+ condition. I find the older stuff sounds much better.
What's with all the new colored vinyl?
I'm comfortable with traditional things; they're usually the way they are for a good reason. Underwear should be white and vinyl should be black. I have to say I am not a fan of all the new colored records, especially clear and the color-splashed ones. I find them distracting and its hard to see dust and contaminants from my old eyes. Are the any advantages to them, besides marketing them as "rare editions" , that I am missing?
