In classifying rocks, there are many properties that can be useful. In my opinion, either color or texture is most useful in classifying a rock or mineral.
Scientists classify rocks based on their mineral composition, grain size, texture, and origin. They also consider factors like color, hardness, and how the rock formed (e.g. igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) in order to categorize rocks into different types and groups.
by using a method which is "king Phillip came over from great Spain" this means "kingdom phylum class order family genus species"
yes,either felsic if light coloured or mafic if dark cloured.we classify rocks like that especially igneous rocks but COLOR IS NEVER USED TO IDENTIFY ANY ROCK.only classification.
They classify metamorphic rocks according to their parent rock or protolith.
cleavage, fracture, luster, streak and color
intrusive and extrusive

Geologists classify rocks into three groups. The first group are igneous rocks, the second are metamorphic rocks and the third are sedimentary rocks.
The chemical property used to classify igneous rocks is their mineral composition, specifically the type and relative abundance of minerals present in the rock. This information helps geologists differentiate between different types of igneous rocks, such as basalt, granite, and rhyolite.
Color alone is not a reliable property to classify rocks, as it can vary due to factors like mineral composition, weathering, and impurities. For accurate classification, it is important to consider additional characteristics such as texture, mineral composition, hardness, and overall structure.
The mineral composition (silica content) is the chemical property most commonly used to classify igneous rocks. This can help differentiate between different types of igneous rocks, such as basalt, andesite, and granite.

Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
Scientists classify rocks based on their mineral composition, texture, and origin. Mineral composition refers to the types and relative amounts of minerals present in the rock. Texture relates to the size and arrangement of the mineral grains, while origin refers to how the rock was formed (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic).
Geologists classify metamorphic rocks by the arrangements of the grains that make up the rocks.
