Why isn't color alone very useful in mineral identification?

A. Cleavage is the property of a mineral that allows it to break roughly along specific external planes; Fracture is the property of a mineral breaking in a more or less specific pattern with no smooth planar surfaces.

B. Cleavage is the property of a mineral that allows it to break in a more or less random pattern with no smooth planar surfaces; Fracture is the property of a mineral breaking smoothly along specific internal planes
