People often think of fire as a
destructive force, and it can be. But fire also rejuvenates the land.
Many grasses have evolved root systems that survive fires so they can be
renewed, and some trees and other plants have seeds that only germinate
after a fire has come through. Plus fires clean out old dead wood and
other debris, making it easier for fresh plant life to grow.

is its actual color. From here.
