@drew Gedemer I do a espresso color on the kitchen cabinets for my renter houses.

Your dogs name, a flower you like, your favorite color... it really doesn't matter.

So for many counties I've dealt with, a DIY perc test involves knowing the soils, soil colors, how to identify oxidation in soil, knowing the county soil survey description and how it applies.

It's always at the least convenient time too. 

Different banks, different colored checkbooks.

The other thing that happened was that he would replace damaged flooring with flooring that was a different color and type even if it was just a patch. 

-Demo and install luxury neutral color vinyl tiles-replace kitchen sink valves-install new disposal, microwave, D/W, Range, Fridge.

Replacement of a tenant is costly too. 

All of the electrical are two prong and not grounded, the upstairs unit reeks of smoke and the blinds are literally rust/orange color from years of smoking, it needs a total gut.

It's not just the water rising that's an issue is the water that's falling too.
