    What if it was banners instaed, then you have even more cosmetic creativity.

    Oh yeah! You could combine it with banners to get elytras with patterns.

    This would be cool along with a separate armor slot for elytra so the armor is not all ugly.

    Even though my favorite color is blue, I would appreciate it if options were available to others.

    You do not need to dye them.  They automatically match cape textures, so just texture your cape how you want them to look.

    Would be a nice feature since capes are rare.

    I'd love to see this, they could be dyed to better match with someone's skin or could be used as a more recognizable way to make 'teams' in games without the restriction of leather armor. Ideally, I like the idea of banners being mapped onto elytra the way they can be used on shields, would definitely take some experimentation to find how our designs would work best. Glad this is under review.

    There could be different kinds of wings that you could craft once you have elytra, for cosmetic purposes, like bat wings which you craft with a bat wing from bats and elytra. Or none wings which are bones and elytra. Or feathery wings, feathers and elytra, and so on

    Well there were plans for personalized eltyra skins a while back, and the current elytras also color themselves after capes worn by a player (such as the official minecon ones).

    So I'm not sure how Dyed elytra would work, but it would be interesting to see.

    What about combining the Elytra with chest armour but being able to give it different looks or designs like being able to make your chest armour look like lava (magma) while having a completely different design and/or colour for the Elytra part of your armour?

    I like this suggestion, and it's under review, hopefully it will be added! :)

    I think it's a good idea

    to paint elytra and for example combine them with banners

    Elytras with banners! And colors! Not everyone has a cape.

    You should be able to apply banner to them as well. So players without capes can customize. With capes coming to bedrock, they should also make the parity with java for capes on eleytra.

    You realise capes are extremely rare, and if you even have one, your elytra can only use the pattern of your cape.

    Nice change that does not effect the game

    Yes please! Plus the ability to do the same thing with banners similar to how you can with shields. I am a very Dramatic and very Aesthetic person and I would literally lay down my soul for such a blessing.

    This would be cool for Bedrock players and/or who don't have a cape

    They shouldn't just be dyeable. Elytras could be like Banners insofar as Banners can have their designs changed in the Loom. That would be better than just being able to dye them.

    It would be great if we could add patterns to elytra using banners!

    Maybe instead of dyed, we can use BANNERS on elytra

    First of it’s more like gray than blue, and there is only 1 free cape so this would be a great edition to the game and it won’t effect gameplay, maybe elytras could have banner designs too?
