How does Uluru change its color?
The colour of Uluru/Ayers Rock, at close range, is an orange-red ochre colour. In the normal light of day, from a distance, it takes on a browner hue. Its different colours are quite remarkable. At sunrise, it has a more orange-yellow appearance. During tain, it has a silver-grey appearance.
There are several factors which contribute to the appearance of different colour changes for Uluru at different times of day.
The different angles of morning sun and late afternoon sun reflect differently off the surface of the Rock, and interact with the different soil colours surrounding the Rock, to also alter its appearance from the brilliant orange-red of early morning to the deeper, dusky-red of later afternoon. On an overcast day, the Rock's colour is also more subdued, turning to an orange-brown colour. It is largely a matter of the atmospheric conditions, and how the moisture levels in the air and any clouds reflect the surrounding desert colours back onto Uluru.
