The color palettes for iron and iron_darker appear to be switched around.
Steps to Reproduce:
On a world with 1.20 experiments enabled, put iron trims on iron armor and another armor material (e.g. diamond)
Preferably use trims that contain darker colors such as Ward or Rib because of another palette issue described at the bottom of this ticket
Place down two armor stands next to each other and put the armor pieces on the armor stands and observe the colors of the trims and observe the colors
Iron armor has lighter trims than the others
Locating the image files:
Navigate to the version jar under
.minecraft\versions\23w05aIf on a Windows system, you can type
%appdata%\.minecraft\versions\23w05ain the Run window (Win + R) for quick navigation
Open the jar file with an archive software such as WinRAR (or make a copy of the jar file somewhere and add
.zipto the end of the file name past the file extension and open it)Navigate to
assets\minecraft\textures\trims\color_palletesLocate the
iron.pngandiron_darker.pngimage files in the directory
If you observe the two image files, you can see that the palette for iron has darker pixels than that for iron_darker.
Upscaled versions of the palettes have been attached to the ticket.
While the lightest three colors in both palettes appear identical, that is being tracked in MC-259640.
Can confirm.
It's very noticeable if you compare how same material-iron trims look compared to the others, even Netherite.
