Chroma
by Orbitul
Chroma lets players dye blocks in any of more than 16 thousand RGB colors, beyond the 16 vanilla dye colors.
What it does
Chroma gives dyeable blocks a full RGB color choice instead of the sixteen vanilla dye shades. It works with wool, terracotta, concrete, glass and carpets, and extends to beds and banners. Players can recolor existing builds without rebuilding them, and build gradients or custom palettes that vanilla dyes cannot produce.
Chroma is published for Forge only, with its latest build 1.1.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-07-26. Only the client needs it for the color picker, and the server must run it too for the dyed blocks to work in multiplayer. Chroma is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Pixel art and detailed builds
Builders can match exact shades for pixel art, murals and fine color transitions in a structure.
Modern and fantasy architecture
Custom palettes make it possible to match a specific color scheme across a city, castle or landscape.
Who it’s for: Builders and survival or creative players who want more color control than the vanilla dye colors allow. Server owners who run modpacks with decorative blocks can add it so that the same palette works on the server.
