Soils in the US can vary in color from red to orange to yellow to gray to brown to black and all shades in between. Soil textures can vary from fine clay (less than 0.002 mm in diameter) to very coarse sand with particle sizes in excess of 2 mm and all sizes in between. Soil can also vary greatly in layers just digging down from the topsoil.

Soils vary in color based on their age, sediment composition, climate (arid vs. tropical for instance), and amount of organic matter.
