You try to avoid me.

I might occur in a variety of colors.

You might see my color change over time.

I can be eased.

You can cover me up or hide me.

I can show what's underneath.

Where do I occur?

  • $\begingroup$ I think the "being able to be eased" and the "hiding" part made it maybe too obvious? Maybe I should be more cryptic? :) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Actually the "ease" was the last thing I found. The hiding was not that obvious to me. $\endgroup$

Probably not the intended answer, but it could be:

heat

occurring in

a fire.

You try to avoid me.

You don't want to get burned.

I might occur in a variety of colors.

Red-hot, white-hot, yellow and orange flames, blue gas flames.

You might see my color change over time.

Red-hot coals can turn white-hot over time.

I can be eased.

"Eased" meaning extinguished maybe.

You can cover me up or hide me.

You can smother a fire.

I can show what's underneath.

When something has all burned away to nothing, you can then see what was underneath it.
