How is the color of soil determined?

I'm not sure whether you are asking how scientists describe soil colors, or what causes soil to be a particular color. Scientists describe soil colors by comparing the soil with standard soil color chips. The most widely used maker of color chips for soils in the United States is Munsell. Scientists carry a small book of Munsell color chips into the field with them when they are describing soil features. Most soils have the colors that they have because of microscopic coatings on mineral soil particles. Typically, soil minerals are white or gray if they are not coated. Red and yellow colors come from different types of iron oxide coatings. Black and dark brown colors usually come from organic matter coatings, but may also come from manganese oxide coatings. Organic matter and oxides can also mix to produce reddish and yellowish brown soils. When soils are gray or white, they are lacking coatings. This can indicate wet conditions, or that organic acids have stripped the coatings from the soil particles. When soils are mottled, with gray, white, yellow and red colors all mixed together, it is a sign that the soil is sometimes wet and sometimes dry.
