Sometimes when using an Axolotl bucket with a different axolotl color than pink (i.e. using an axolotl bucket that contains a brown axolotl) for a split second the axolotl is pink.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Pick up an Axolotl in a bucket where the color of the Axolotl that you picked up is a color other than pink (i.e. brown)
2. Place that bucket down in a spot that does not have water on it (I suggest spamming the bucket until the bug occurs)
❌ --> The Axolotl will SOMETIMES spawn as a pink axolotl for a split second

Can confirm for 1.18 pre-1

Can confirm for 22w05a
Can confirm for 1.18.2 and 1.19 pre-release 1. This also applies to baby axolotls. Baby axolotls appear as adults for a moment when released from their bucket.
This is MC-88181, just a survival method.
