Chromatic and Beauty Pools are closely related to each other. As the water level in one pool rises, is descends in the other.

Beauty Pool frequently changes in color as the water temperature changes. It is at its brightest when the temperature is hot, and turns brown at lower temperatures as brown-colored microorganisms thrive in the water.

Chromatic and Beauty Pools are located in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. Nearby attractions include the Giant Geyser, the spectacular Grand Geyser, Grotto Geyser, Castle Geyser, Geyser Hill, and the Old Faithful.
