Pardon my ignorance but why is the colour important. Is it an indication of something else? If so would it not be more helpful to analyse the material rather than guessing from its colour?

Use a Munsell colour chart to avoid ambiguity ??

Subject: Soil colours
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
