Lava color depends on biome (Nether Update)

Just like Water in the over-world changing its color depending on the biome it is in such as water turning brown in the swamp. Now that the nether is being updated it would be a great addition to make the lava change its color depending on the biome. In the soul sand valley lava would appear light blue just like the fire in the same biome. In the red nether-wart biome lava would appear dark red like the vegetation in the biome. In blue nether-wart biomes the lava would appear like the soul sand valley lava, only darker.

    Like this? (maybe the blue lava could be bluer, not as purple)

    I like this idea. For a more general application, I would refer you to this post.

    Seems like some resourcepacks can do that already, could be cool to see in game though.

    I think this would benefit from contrasting lava colors in each biome, as opposed to ones that are too similar in each. The color should also obey the stefan-boltzmann law, ex. Soul-sand valley could be light blue; nether wastes could be orange; basalt delta could be deep red; warped forest could be yellow-ish; crimson forest could be white; or any permutations there-upon.

    Lava in sulfur caves could be blue...

    Lava in crimson forest and warped forest biomes could be cooler reds...

    Lava in basalt delta, and lava below a certain Y level should be white hot.
