 Description   

The sides of grass blocks are a different color than the top of them, and it looks really strange.

What's confusing about this is that apparently the top is biome-colored in fast, but the sides are not. Why is the top still colored in fast, if it's an expensive operation? If the method used for the top is different, and isn't an expensive operation, then why isn't that same method used for the sides?

It would probably look better if it were at least consistent.

But you get what you pay for. If you want fancy graphics, you have to select "Fancy graphics".
This is just one of the tradebacks for "Fast graphics"

This is an intended behavior. The top of the grass blocks are colored according to the biome. The sides are colored with an overlay but this overlay is removed for performance reasons in "fast" mode. You are right, this looks strange. But I don't think there is an easy way to fix this.

The effect is better visible in biome desert, see screenshots.

The colour is the same (green), the hue is different.

This is intended when on fast graphics.
