The color of white wool sheep is light grey

Wool colors were changed.

How does this work as intended, the wool block looks completely different to the sheeps wool.

Agreed, this does not look like "WaI" to me either, unless it isn't possible to render the new wool palette differently on a sheep ("sheep armour"), although it is the colour white.

Will reopen for Mojang to decide.

Thank you very much Neko <3
I'd like to point out, now that I saw all dyed sheep on top of their according wool they drop (see attached screenshots), I figured that Mojang apparently gave all sheep with no exception a bit of a "dirty" colour. I can get why, for once it's more like real life, where wool is usually not bright-white, and also sheep in Minecraft would maybe somewhat look odd/"plastic-fake" if their armour/wool would be as saturated-bright as the woolblocks they drop.

However, as much as it does not bug me much for the other colours, it does so for the white sheep.
If one compares the white sheep with the lightgrey woolblock (I placed behind it, for comparison), it's a tad too close.
I feel the white sheep wouldn't have to be as bright as its woolblock, but a tad brighter and not so "dirty" would be great, or it might get confusing a bit.

I also feel the yellow, pink, light grey and dark grey sheep could have a tad lighter armour/rendered wool, but I could live with the colours as they currently are, whereas the white one as it currently is would be a quite drastic change for the community.

Thank you again for reopening 🙂

Confirmed for 17w18a.
