RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Production technology of vinyl has been studied to find the possible color combination for this project.
CHALLENGE: One of the difficulties in creating the project was a flaw, due to which some music is reproduced with loss of quality and distortions on colored vinyl. Besides that colored vinyl is more expensive than pressing to black vinyl, also may be required to mix multiple colors to hit the exact color.
