Each of these indicators can be used to measure different aspects of a company’s success.

Artificial Indicators
Artificial indicators are created by economists and financial analysts to help them predict future economic conditions. They are often based on historical data and trends. Most artificial indicators are used to predict stock prices, interest rates, and the overall direction of the economy.
Natural Indicators
The presence of a few species of indicator plants can help you to determine the nature of a soil.
For example, the presence of blackberry bushes in a soil indicates a high level of organic matter. The presence of milkweed, a common weed, in a soil indicates that the soil is alkaline.
Natural Indicators and their Colour Changes
In the natural world, many things can be used as indicators of environmental conditions. For example, the colour of a plant’s leaves can change to indicate whether it needs more water.
Here are some common natural indicators and their typical colour changes:
1. Leaves: The leaves of a plant can change colour to indicate whether it needs more water. For example, if the leaves start to turn yellow or brown, it means the plant is not getting enough water.
2. Soil: The colour of soil can change to indicate how wet or dry it is. For example, dry soil will be lighter in colour than wet soil.
3. Mushrooms: The colour of mushrooms can change to indicate whether they are poisonous or edible. For example, poisonous mushrooms will typically be darker in colour than edible mushrooms.
4. Streams: The colour of a stream can change to indicate the level of pollution in the water. For example, if the water is murky or has a lot of foam on the surface, it means the water is polluted.
