Colored Mouse Pads

Do colored mouse pads offer worse tracking than plain black ones? I currently have a QcK Mass, but was looking at the new Na'Vi edition QcK+ (big Na'Vi fan). Will I get worse tracking with the Na'Vi edition with my Steelseries Rival than with my black QcK Mass?

 

I'm reffering to this mouse mat

It will work fine but I presume at this point you are used to the 6mm thickness on the Mass like me and switching to something very thin like the normal QcK (2mm) will feel "unnatural".

QcK+ is 4mm, I don't think the difference is so big, or is it? The link is working now btw

Ew navi.

 

Anyway I believe it it does not matter unless the surface does not reflect or refract light but I could be wrong.

I'm not reffering to the Na'Vi CS team, but the Dota team if you wondered. The Dota team is awesome! :D

I know but their colors are bad which is why I don't like them in CS :P

I think this particular mouse pad is really good looking. The splash effect looks very good IMO, and the colors and contrast are striking :P
