The pleura of the lung is typically a pale, translucent color, often described as a light gray or bluish hue. This thin membrane consists of two layers: the visceral pleura, which covers the lungs, and the parietal pleura, which lines the chest cavity. Healthy pleura should appear smooth and shiny, without any discoloration or irregularities. Any significant changes in color may indicate underlying health issues, such as infection or inflammation.
