MC Block Colors

Here is a list of the RGB values associated with various blocks in Minecraft, both shaded and not shaded. I found this by taking screen-caps and blurring the blocks in gimp, then using a program called "pixie" to get an average color for the block. These colors might not be perfect, but they are close enough. Names might not be right either, I'll correct later.

row-column color name values (shaded values)

Decent Pixel Blocks (the only ones I use)

4-7 White 133/133/133 (shaded 81/81/81)

Not So Great Pixel Blocks
1-2 Gray (Stone) 72/72/72 (shaded 45/45/45)
1-3 Red (Brick) 119/65/54 (shaded 72/40/30)
1-5 Brown (Grate) 94/76/48 (shaded 58/48/30)
1-6 Brown (Wood) 62/49/31 (shaded 38/30/20)
2-1 Off Gray (Mossy Stone) 53/68/50 (shaded 30/40/30)
2-9 Yellow (Sponge) 105/105/33 (shaded 65/65/21)
4-8 Gray (Coal Rock) 66/66/66 (shaded 41/41/41)
4-9 Off Gray (Dirt Rock) 86/81/78 (shaded 53/50/48)
5-1 Off Gray (Lava Rock) 91/88/75 (shaded 57/55/46)
5-2 Gray (Iron) 118/118/118 (shaded 65/65/65)
5-3 Orange (Gold) 139/93/24 (shaded 83/49/12)
5-4 Brown (Shelf) 59/43/34 (shaded 36/29/20)
5-5 Off (TNT) 105-91/47-67/35-60 (shaded 56/40/36)

I do not use all grays/blacks either. By the time you factor in the shadows, values can get real close to each other, making them redundant. I use the following for grays: Shaded 5-6 Black, 5-6 Black, Shaded 4-5 Darkest Gray, Unshaded 4-5 Darkest Gray, Shaded 4-6 Med-Lgt Gray, Shaded 1-9 Gray Flat Brick, Unshaded 1-1 Med-Drk Gray, Unshaded 4-6 Med-Lgt Gray, Unshaded 1-9 Gray Flat Brick, Unshaded 4-7 White. That's enough to do the job, though I don't love the flat brick.
