How these colours are measured

A block's colour is its dominant colour: every texture the block's model draws with is read, transparent pixels are dropped, the rest are quantised to four bits per channel and the largest group wins. That is the same number the block's own page and the JSON API report, so nothing here is a second opinion. The family is that colour converted to HSL: hue picks the family, and a colour with almost no saturation is white, grey or black whatever its hue says.

Brown is the exception, because brown is not a hue. Oak planks and orange concrete sit ten degrees apart on the colour wheel; what separates them is that the planks are darker and less saturated. Any red, orange or yellow that the texture keeps dark or muted is filed as brown, which is why the brown family is the biggest one on this page.

Grass, leaves, vines, lily pads and stems have no colour of their own. Their textures are grey and the game multiplies them by a biome colour at render time. When most of a block's faces are tinted that way, the colour shown here is the grey texture multiplied by the plains tint, so a grass block is green rather than grey. Every other block is classified exactly as its texture file ships, with no adjustment at all.

Blocks the site cannot render — chests, banners, beds in hand and the rest the game draws with code — have no texture set to measure and are not listed.
