Coloured Vinyl!! Love It or Hate It??

I love collecting colored vinyl. I think I may have 100 or more. Ranging from glow-in-the-dark, to marbled, to splatter, to split colors, to you name it. I have often thought of starting a colored vinyl thread where we could take pictures and show off the wide variety that we collectively have. Would anyone be interested in that? Or should we just keep it to the vinyl only spin list?

Funny thing, when I was younger I hated it. They tended to cost more and that bothered my sensibilities, plus I couldn't afford to spend more.
Now it is entertaining and as long as the cost isn't painfully more, I at times opt for the color vinyl versions just for the fun of it.
 
I think they are fun. I have red ones on Fantasy (Cal Tjader) up to DJ 12" in white, green, yellow, spackled, splattered, marbled (Dave Mason Alone Together), pictures.
The collector slang for colored vinyl is "Candy".
 
I have quite a few color pressings, but I'm not a huge fan. Maybe it's just my luck, but the color records I have don't seem to be particularly good quality pressings.
