Of cause the color of the material in itself means nothing. I am not so damn to do not understand it but the irony is that in this particular case the color of the material is significant. Yes, many manufactures damp metal with Mylar, I think Goto driver are Mylar-suspended titanium. However, no one knows what Mylar is being used. I am sure that people who work with materials would give 304505 versions of polyester that all will have trade name of Mylar. It is like Alnico or Amorphous core the name imply the topology but not brand specifics and there are many different types of Alnico magnets and many different type of Amorphous steel.

So, Vitavox to the best of my knowledge did two types of Mylar-suspended or plastic suspended diaphragms: with white plastic and with clear plastic (transparent).  I do not know if it is the same material but I know that sonically the white suspension sound more friendly. So, when I refer to Vitavox suspension as “white” suspension I do not mean to differentiate it from pink or leopard spots but rather to differentiate it from “clear” (transparent) version of suspension.  

BTW, the “clear” (transparent) version of suspension was the Vitavox original designs that was advised to be use for high power handling….
