Item colors

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

Both editions

Potions

Item forms of colored blocks

The inventory color for 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

This feature was present in earlier versions of Java Edition, but has since been removed.

From Java Edition 1.11 until Java Edition 26.3, the item icons for filled and explorer maps used 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 a decimal value; 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)

   #C26B4C (dec: 12741452)
• Village Maps; Jungle Explorer Map; Swamp Explorer Map:
   #999999 (dec: 10066329)

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