i think kwun's comments are founded in feel (i.e. tackiness) and performance (NOT player performance but grip performance). if it's true how different coloured strings can give different performance and feel, i don't see why not for grips. they use different dyes etc to colour the grips after all.
comparing colored strings with colored grips do not answer the question of how the process of color dye affect the texture and material of the grip itself. even in the case of string color, the subject is still very ambiguous; some think black strings are more slippery, some think they are more grippy, some think they are absolutely identical.
thus, our objective here should be:
1) figure out what type of coloring process is involved (sublimation dye, ink press, etc)
2) how does that process alter the material used in grip (polyurethane, and/or any additional coating on top)
