Soil color is and has always been of interest to soil scientists around the world. It has entered into many classification systems and even modem classifications such as the US Soil Taxonomy use soil color at various levels.Among the various colors, the hues between red and yellow are most widespread. They are caused by various forms and concentrations of Fe (III) oxides (Taylor, 1982; Torrent et al., 1983). In a negative sense, the lack of Fe (III) oxides indicates the important pedogenic processes of Fe reduction and subsequent removal, thereby leaving the grey colors of the silicate matrix behind. Iron (II) compounds may induce green-blue or black colors. These brief comments show that iron oxides can function as indicators of pedogenesis. Pedogenesis comprises the sum of all processes which have taken place in the soil mantle. These processes are induced by and are functions of a number of pedogenic factors (Jenny, 1980). The primary reaction through which F e (III) oxides are formed is the hydrolytic and oxidative decomposition of Fe (II)-containing primary minerals [mainly F e (II) silicates]:
