I am sure (from reading the introduction to every report that I ever look at) that every single person who does site investigation in this country complies with BS5930.
Appendix H of BS5930 - H.4 Photographic record of recovered materials.
"All photographs of recovered materials normally include.........and a colour chart."
All photos in SI reports should therefore include a colour chart. This helps with colours and should assist alongside the soil descriptions.

Dear all,
Thank you to those who have recently taken part in my questionnaire - the results are very interesting!
I've been working through some of the questions and many of you have said that describing colour is difficult during logging. As part of my research to standardise colours, I have been researching different colours that can be present within soils. If anyone has encountered interesting or unnatural colours within soils during a ground investigation due to contamination or other sources and knows what has caused the colour, I'd be very interested in including it in my project. Any pictures you have will also be very helpful.
Kind regards,
Sophia
