10 months ago Something like this is planned in a future release. Until then, the way I changed the text color is overriding the key in the language JSON and use formatting codes (which changes the color for every texture, because it's rendered on top of it, and probably isn't helpful). My idea is that a text format can be specified optionally for each texture (one option is to insert a format code in front, changing the entire text)

Functionality of changing text color with RGBA or/and HEX As an example I'll use an dilemma I'm currently facing and really wanna add a background behind the container title - I'm working on 2 versions of a GUI (dark mode and vanilla) and changing the text color with core shaders which works pretty well in all containers - in this case shulker boxes - except black shulker boxes on vanilla GUI (hard to read the black text on black background) and white shulker boxes in dark mode (white text on white background)
now this is how the opposite shulker boxes look and how the text color actually should be - black shulker boxes in dark mode just goes perfectly as it is white-ish on black - same goes with white shulker boxes in vanilla GUI
having the possibility to change text color in selected containers would pretty much resolve this (I personally would prefer RGBA, because core shaders do use vec4 - which is RGBA / 255 and easier to make the transparency with just numbers - especially if using a config for the resourcepack with a slider from 0 to 100 * 255 (or 0 to 100 / 100 if its for vec4) for transparency)
