What Is the Soil Color Chart Used For?
Soil colour is one of the first properties recorded when a soil is described, because it reflects the organic matter content, the minerals present and how well the soil drains; grey or mottled colours, for example, point to waterlogging. The user holds a moist or dry soil sample beside the printed colours in the book, in daylight, and notes the matching colour name and notation. Because everyone works to the same system, colour records made at one site can be shared with, and understood by, colleagues anywhere in the world.
