The NRCS Official Series Description contains color data at horizons for both wet and dry soils (link), but the algorithm only compares while dry (us_soil.py, 504-506) .
Many soil scientists characterize while the soil is wet, and would not want to dry soils as a part of their practice. So, we could improve the quality of our soil id recommendations if we fetch both the wet and the dry colors of soils, and let the user's flagging of wet and dry decide which we use for the comparison.
