Answer:Basalt is usually dark grey to black in colour, due to a high content of augite or other pyroxene minerals, but can exhibit a wide range of shading.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some basalts are quite light-coloured due to a high content of plagioclase, and these are sometimes described as leucobasalts.
