Where the colour comes from

Each colour is measured, not chosen: the block's textures are read out of the client jar, transparent pixels are dropped, the rest are quantised to four bits per channel and the largest group is the dominant colour. It is converted to HSL to pick the family — hue first, with saturation and lightness deciding white, grey, black and brown, since brown is a dark or muted red, orange or yellow rather than a hue of its own.

12 of these ship a grey texture that the game multiplies by a biome colour at render time, so they are measured with the plains tint the renders use and filed by the colour you actually see: Short Grass, Dark Oak Leaves, Sugar Cane, Large Fern and others. In another biome they would be a different shade.

7 of these are tinted too, but with a colour the game uses in every biome rather than a biome one: Melon Stem, Lily Pad, Spruce Leaves, Attached Melon Stem and others. The measured colour is the texture multiplied by that fixed value.

One state per block, the resting one the inventory shows, and one render each at fit=block so a torch and a full cube are drawn at the same scale. Every block here links to its own page, where the same colour is listed next to the textures it came from.

Questions about green blocks

What are the green blocks in Minecraft?

Java Edition 26.2 has 154 blocks whose measured colour is green, among them Green Concrete, Block of Emerald and Grass Block. The full list on this page runs lightest first, from End Stone Brick Slab to Dried Kelp Block.

What is the lightest green block, and the darkest?

The lightest is End Stone Brick Slab (#e8f4b2, 83% lightness) and the darkest is Dried Kelp Block (#222e17, 14% lightness), going by the dominant colour of each block's textures.

This page splits the family at about its middle: the 78 blocks at 35% lightness or more are listed as light green, from End Stone Brick Slab to Melon Stem, and the other 76 as dark green, from Lime Terracotta to Dried Kelp Block. Lightness is the L of the measured hex in HSL.
