Common Colors

Common colors are basically variables controlled by resource packs, defining the color of texts and UI elements in general. They can be accessed via UI Definitions using the format: commonColor.<namespace>.<path> or commonColor.<path> (if the namespace is minecraft, the default)

---

They are defined by the common_colors.json file in any namespace (directories in assets, like minecraft).
