Hi  



        TEXTURE       LIGHT           MEDIUM           DARK



            FINE           4             20                  8

            MEDIUM         5             23                 12

            COARSE        21             23                  4     



Using www.vassarstats.net/newcs.html

chi-square = 17.73

df = (3-1)(3-1) = 4

CV = .2718

there is evidence of association between color and texture for these limestones
