Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Most minerals/matter have a distinctive color that can be used for identification. In opaque minerals/matter, the color tends to be more consistent, so learning the colors associated with these minerals can be very helpful in identification. Translucent to transparent minerals have a much more varied degree of color due to the presence of trace minerals. Therefore, color alone is not reliable as a single identifying characteristic.
