Minecraft Concrete Colors

Why concrete is the best pixel-art block

Concrete comes in all 16 dye colors, each a flat, vivid, evenly-lit surface with no texture noise. That makes it the most popular block for Minecraft pixel art — colors read cleanly from a distance and the palette covers a wide gamut.
