Using the new froglights to cast colorful lighting!

It makes sense, the new froglights that are coming to 1.19 are colored, and therefore should also cast different light hues. It is a feature in RTX, but 90% of players sadly can't afford RTX (Including me), however even when using soul lighting it still just casts a plain white but slightly dimmed light source. It doesn't make a blue sort of lighting. The new froglights should stand out from the crowd more and should change the way building is done, adding mood lighting and much more. Mood lighting can be used for soo many things eg. building an enchanted forest with purple and green light hues and using fire flies aswell. It would all come together soo beautifully! The new froglights to me, have soo much more potential than what's being shown! I hope you will consider this Mojang, as I really think this is a great opportunity. Lighting will have a whole new meaning in Minecraft!

    Minecraft desperately needs coloured lighting but I'd rather see lanterns using stained glass to emit a wider range of different colours. Using the three froglights would leave us with limited options.

    I do like the froglights. Why not both.

    I think light should just change colours after passing through stained glass, we already have a similar mechanic, tinted glass blocks light, so why can’t stained glass change the colour of light that passes through, though it might be hard to implement for the devs adding different CoL (I got tired of typing colours of light, so I shortened it to CoL), since you need to add the colours first then coding every time the colours need to change and possibly even stack so might take a while.

    Obviously this implies to both froglights and soul lights
