Constant colors

These do not change depending on biome or any other factor. Birch and spruce leaves are technically biome-dependent in Bedrock Edition and pick their colors from colormaps.

Snowy leaves

This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition.

During snowfall, all biome-tinted leaves change their colors to
 #FFFFFF
, in 8 transition stages where they are blended with the regular colors.

Biome colors

Colors are blended on biome borders, resulting in more unique colors. See Biome § Tint for the coloring algorithm.

Grass colors

History

Java Edition

Java Edition Alpha
v1.2.0preview The top texture of grass blocks and snowy grass blocks and texture of leaves has been changed.
The texture are now grayscale and are affected by biome colors. For each biome, there are several shades and a total number of unique colors is 4662 for grass and 6567 for leaves (if change every pixel in grass.png and foliage to unique color that total number of unique colors is 32 896 for grass and 32 896 for leaves).
Java Edition Beta
1.2 Added birch leaves and spruce leaves, which use a constant color regardless of biome.
1.3 Redstone wire now uses a system of colors in order to display a different color for each power level, rather than rendering everything which was on at full brightness.
1.5 The colors used by redstone wire have changed for unpowered redstone wire, from
 #000000
to
 #4B0000
.
The model of grass blocks now use overlay texture on side faces when "Graphics: Fancy" is set in options. The texture is grayscale and is affected by biome colors.
Grass blocks use old model when "Graphics: Fast" is set in options.
1.6Test Build 3 Added grass and ferns, which are affected by biome coloring.
1.8Pre-release Added vines, which are affected by biome coloring.
Major changes to biomes have resulted in major changes to the colors used.
Added pumpkin stems and melon stems, which use a gray texture that is afterward colored depending on age from 1-7.
Stems with ages 8-15, which are normally inaccessible, are also colored. The reason for these colors is the calculation of the RGB color values overlap in the game's code.
Java Edition
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease Added lily pads, which use a constant color of
 #208030
.
Water in swamps is now colored with
 #E0FF70
, which mixes with the blue texture.
The swamp grass and foliage colors has been changed to hard-coded colors
 #5C694E
and
 #496137
.
1.112w01a The water color in swamps (right) has changed to
 #E0FFAE
. Uncolored water to its left for comparison.
1.2.112w03a Added jungle leaves, using the same colors as oak leaves.
1.4.212w34a Added potted ferns, which are biome affected.
1.513w10a Values of the tall grass block higher than usually obtainable (shrub) now use the dead bush texture, although colored like others. See Block colors/Removed blocks and biomes#Green shrubs for a full list.
1.7.213w36a New biomes, new colors and color related mechanics. The biomes added should probably be listed here, though, and some of those green shrubs above moved here.


Swamps now use two different colors depending on temperature.
Sugar cane is now biome colored.
Unintentionally added potted grass and potted green shrubs, which change color depending on biome. See Block colors/Removed blocks and biomes#Potted grass and green shrubs for a full list.
13w43a Added acacia and dark oak leaves, which are colored by biome.
1.814w06a Flower pots now render a lot of the blocks that can be placed inside of them via NBT data. Among the now rendered are potted grass blocks (appearing as colored dirt) and potted leaves, which change color depending on the biome. See Block colors/Removed blocks and biomes#Potted leaves and vines for a full list.

Similarly to the data values used for tall grass, any of the leaves can be given either the predefined birch color or spruce color by modifying the data values accordingly.
14w06b

Potted vines, potted lily pads and potted water (uncolored left, swamp right) now also appear and are colored. See Block colors/Removed blocks and biomes#Potted leaves and vines for a full list of vines.
14w10a
The dirt on the sides of grass blocks is now also colored by biome.[2]
Shrubs have no model and this model is not colored.
14w10b The sides of grass blocks are no longer colored.
14w17a All nonstandard potted objects no longer render in flower pots.
1.1318w15a Added the Biome Blending option.
Water now utilizes colors more extensively, with its texture being gray by default like other blocks and then colored as necessary.
The color used by swamp water has changed, and normal water now uses a non-blank color.
The color for Swamp Hills has not changed, resulting in the
 #E0FFAE
color intended to be mixed with the usual blue water being accidentally applied directly to a gray texture, resulting in chlorine-colored water.[3]
Added colors for new ocean temperatures.
Lava is now biome colored except the bottom face. This is linked to new biome coloring for water.[4]
18w16a Lava is no longer biome colored.
18w20b Cauldrons now color contained water respective of biome.
pre3 Swampland M water now has the same water color as regular swamps.
1.1519w45a Grass and foliage colors no longer change alongside shifts in temperature, with the exception of swamps as defined previously.
? Snowy taigas now have a more appropiate water color.

Bedrock Edition

Pocket Edition Alpha
Demo Added grass block, oak, birch and spruce leaves, all colored with
 #339933
.
v0.3.2 The colors of oak, birch and spruce leaves have been changed to
 #48B518
,
 #80A755
and
 #619961
.
v0.8.0build 1 The top texture of the grass block in block form is now colored with
 #87CD49
.
