Please change the new dye textures

The new textures for dyes in the latest bedrock preview are a great idea for differentiating the different colors of dye, however, the current implementation isn't great. A lot of the detail of the old textures has been lost with this new iteration. For instance, the previous textures looked like they were created from different materials, and had different amounts of fineness/coarseness and grain. The newer textures lack these nuances, and instead all appear to be made of a paste like material. The old textures also had very distinct shapes, except for lime, purple, magenta, pink, and gray. These new textures attempt to fix this problem by making each shape different, but the shapes lack any definition and instead look like blobs, which does not help to differentiate them. The platform that each dye has is also quite a strange addition.
My suggestion is that instead of updating all of the dye textures, only the lime, purple, magenta, pink, and gray dyes should be updated to be given different shapes.

    yep i agree. in fact the funny thing is lime already has a counterbalence against red and green, and purple, magenta, and pink look close to eachother anyway. and who has heard of grey-(insert colour here) colourblindness? so the change is redundent, unlike...

    +1 Yeah I really like the idea of putting the dyes on a little dish to indicate "this is a dye" but the individual dyes just lost so much personality and visual distinctiveness.

    I messed around with dye stuff in the snapshot for an hour and I kept getting all the different colors mixed up because of how similar and indistinct all the shapes all the shapes were to/from each other. If that was happening to me and I'm not even color blind, it has be way worse for actual color blind people this is supposedly supposed to help. The best solution probably would be to just change all the oval dyes (lime, purple, magenta, and pink) and keep all the other ones the same as always.

    I find it ridiculous that they change the sprites of the dyes just because the datanics do not recognize them if in the first place THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THEM

    Totally agree. Especially the "paper" that they are on doesn't really fit.

    I heavily agree. They should have just made new textures for the identically shaped dyes. They're all just similarly shaped blobs now that are hard to tell apart from each other. Also I really don't like the piece of paper they added under each one. It makes the texture more cluttered and makes it harder to use them to decorate in creative ways.

    It feels weird how they’re seemingly ignoring all feedback regarding the dye textures, especially when compared to the ore texture changes in Caves and Cliffs, where the texture artist was actively responding to feedback from colorblind people.

    They haven’t made a single change to the dye textures since the snapshot that were added in.

    I really like the old textures, the dish underneath seems unnecessary and makes it look cluttered, and it means for server owners you can't really use the colours in chest inventory guis (for instance red/green dye for confirm/cancel)
