The bug
When you place a monster spawner and use a shulker spawn egg on it, and let it spawn shulkers, they appear white and the value of their "Color" tag is 0 (white), instead of the expected 16 (for end-city generated shulkers).
How to reproduce
Place a monster spawner somewhere in the sky (preferably in the End), for example by flying up high and running
/setblock ~ ~ ~ spawnerThen, use a shulker spawn egg on the spawner
Wait, and then the shulkers that appear will be white (0) instead of the expected purpur purple (16, default)

If you put a command block and spawn a white shulker there is a chance of a white shulker if you place it in a mobspawner

When putting a shulker into a mob spawner, it appears white and the shulkers spawned by it are also white.

The problem is that the value of
Colortag remains 0 which is white.
