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?

I think the colored vinyl is kinda cool and fun. I don’t buy records simply due to color, but some of the etchings and what not are cool additions. Black is boring, but of course gets the job done. My latest Bob Marley “greatest hits” is done in the red, yellow, green color scheme. Love it.

My Mitsubishi and Sony Linear Turntables shine light up thru holes in the platter to detect lp size and then chooses 33 or 45 speed. I have to put a black light blocking LP below a Larkin Poe clear 'white' LP, which messes with VTA of course.

I’m giving my niece a vertical TT, and this LP with a smiley Face to leave on it for fun.

I paid less, but scroll down, see it sticking out of the jacket
