Concept:Soil colour is a visual indicator of the internal condition of the soil profile.
Explanation:The colour of a soil profile helps to show how well the soil drains water.
A dark or black colour usually means rich humus, while red, brown, or yellow colours come from iron oxides.
Grey, bluish, or mottled colours indicate that the soil is waterlogged and has poor drainage.
Bright and uniform colours like red or brown suggest good drainage.
Soil colour also gives clues about fertility, mineral composition, organic matter, and soil age.
