      This isn't really so much of a bug but there's nothing else to put it under.

      So call me a pedant, but it occurred to me just today that the cyan-colored blocks are, despite being called cyan, not actually cyan. In fact, they're more of a neutral aqua color, as cyan is actually a very bright color, perhaps one of the most obnoxious in the spectrum.

      Cyan, specifically, is #00FFFF, or roundabout there. Meanwhile, everything Minecraft calls 'cyan' is a much darker color.

      So yeah, my proposition is to rename Minecraft's 'cyan' to 'aqua'. It's really the only color in Minecraft's entire spectrum (unglazed terracotta notwithstanding) that's blatantly incorrectly named.

      (P.S. I included a little graphic better demonstrating the difference between cyan and 'cyan'; I admit I eyeballed the Minecraft version on the bottom pretty hard, but it should be close enough to illustrate my point. Ultimately I have no actual issues with the choices made for Minecraft's color palette, I'm just annoyed that it's named wrong.)
