The color of a bead can be used to tell a story about the bead itself. Just like beads have special characteristics so do the colors used on and within the beads. The ability to classify and communicate a color easily allows for a greater understanding of the bead. The coloring of a bead can be used to indicate the region of the world that the bead is from and the types of materials used in the creation of the bead.
