Besides air and water, there are several things that can change the color of a mineral. Impurities, age, the sun, heat, and pressure can change the color of a mineral.

Color alone is not the best way to identify a mineral because many minerals have the same color or more than one color. Mineral color can be highly variable and it can change depending on surroundings.

Color can change in a mineral when in certain temperatures

The small amounts of different elements in a mineral can change its color, hardness, and other physical properties.

it is not a good idea to identify a rock or mineral by it's color because the color of the rock can change and when looking at facts on that rock/mineral it may not say the color that you have. that is why there are other ways as well as color. but don't get me wrong because some things can be identified by the color so it really depends.
A mineral phase change occurs when a mineral undergoes a transformation in its crystal structure due to changes in temperature, pressure, or composition. This can impact the properties of the mineral by altering its hardness, density, color, and other physical characteristics.
The streak of the mineral is the mineral's powder color
