Color Codes By Block
What are color codes? Color codes are hex values that can be used to change an entity’s color in Minecraft. The codes for blocks use a hash symbol (#) and consist of six characters which correspond to Red, Green, and Blue on a 0 – 255 scale. These three colors combined create all possible colors displayed in Minecraft.
