Item colors

This article is a work in progress.

 

Please help expand and improve it. The talk page may contain suggestions.

The following page lists colors which are applied to items in the game.

There are many colors in Minecraft as players can see by looking at blocks or mobs. But by dyeing leather armour, players can get unique colors as there are 12,326,391 different possible colors.

Both editions

Spawn eggs

Potions

Item forms of colored blocks

The inventory color of the grass is calculated with temperature:0.5 and rainfall:1.0. The result is AdjTemp:0.5, AdjRainfall:0.5, We can get the color (
 #7CBD6B) for the middle of center (x: 127, y: 127) of the grass.png.

These are exclusive to Java Edition; Bedrock Edition instead has pre-colored textures used for items, distinct from the textures actually used for blocks in placed form (see Bedrock Edition history of textures/Items).

Maps

In Java Edition, the item icons for filled and explorer maps use two different textures: filled_map.png, which is the base texture, and filled_map_markings.png, which is overlaid onto the base texture and colored differently depending on the type of map. The color is defined in the minecraft:map_color component as an integer; if not defined, it defaults to
 #46402E (dec: 4603950).

• Filled Map:
   #46402E (dec: 4603950)
• Buried Treasure Map:
   #46402E (dec: 4603950)
• Woodland Explorer Map:
   #524C44 (dec: 5393476)
• Ocean Explorer Map:
   #3A7265 (dec: 3830373)
• Trial Explorer Map:
   #C26B4C (dec: 12741452)
• Village Maps; Jungle Explorer Map; Swamp Explorer Map:
   #999999 (dec: 10066329)

In Bedrock Edition, pre-colored textures are instead used for each map type.

Dyed leather armor

The default color is
 #A06540 (Dec: 10511680). This is used for leather horse armor, and leather helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.

Firework stars

The default color is
 #8A8A8A (Dec: 9079434). When dyes are applied, the final color is different from that used for leather armor. They do not match one to one.

History

This section is missing information about:

• Default colors for other stuff when introduced. Some colored stuff was not colored as items when in the inventory.
• Console Edition bed items
• All early spawn egg color info - we have the equations and stuff now.

 

Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
