Colorful Vs. One Color
No, but another good guess.
The most colorful seashells are found in warm,
shallow waters, usually near coral reefs. The way a
mollusc creates color in its shell is through tubes in
its body, which have a kind of "dye" in them. The
dye passes through the tube and stains the top
layers of the shell.
