Colored mulch disadvantages?

They have red, brown, and black colored mulch nowadays at Home Depot and other home improvement stores. Only have to change it once a year it says.

Are there any disadvantages to the colored mulch?
I don’t know much about mulch, but I know there are some mulches that are better at staying in place and some that float away once you get a good rain.
Why buy from Home Depot and such in bags? It is so expensive. Much cheaper to buy it by the yard and get a truck to dump it at your house.

In the past I have had color fade issues with the "red" mulch from HD… By July it was looking kinda lousy… The brown mulch Home Depot sells holds up much better!
We have some of the red mulch and after a few months it begins to fade and look pretty shitty. Also it will stain walls/walkways

even the nicer kind fades – also make sure if it brushes away its not onto concrete

Wow, I didn’t know that… I have a brick walkway so I never noticed that!
Colored mulch looks douchey and unnatural to me
