I noticed when you shear a sheep, the naked sheep has white wool in it's body, not the color you cut. This should be fixed, as it's very hard to distinguish whic color is each sheep after shearing, and because it's not visually appealing.

Colored sheep's after shearing

I understand this isn't a bug, as a sheep's colour is apparent in their "armour" layer, and their (white) skin texture has nothing to do with it. So sheared sheep are simply technically expected to always appear white. However, seeing players have multiple skin layers as well, it should be possible for instance to have sheep show an intermediate layer underneath their armour, specifically for showing their dyed colour when the armour is sheared.
But important to note, as far as the player is concerned, this is a bug. The technical implementation of how a sheep's colours are rendered I believe should not affect that percepton. If from technical perspective this issue is to be more of a content suggestion, I'd personally would like to suggest that. I sadly can't select that Issue Type however.
Please reopen this ticket, as the sheep appear differently between Java and Bedrock edition. In bedrock they actually do show their dyed colours when sheared.
If this ticket would be too old, please reopen my new ticket MC-120541
Hey @unknown - We're already working on achieving parity across versions where possible, and we're very keen to hear your requests or suggestions, so we'd encourage you to make a post at https://feedback.minecraft.net, or upvote an existing topic there.
If you're not sure whether your issue is a parity request or a bug, hopefully this article will help explain further: Parity Request Guide
If everyone is wondering, there is a ticket in the feedback website there https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360078155412-Sheep-to-keep-their-colour-onced-sheared-in-Java-just-like-bedrock
Mojang, this issue have been there for so long and you make Bedrock Parity fixes for Java quite rarely, you do, but there is not a lot compared to what could be added from Bedrock to Java
But please at least consider this fix for Java, it’s been there for so long and that’s a small fix (I think)
This is a feature request, not a bug.
