Shepherd Villagers 'Expert' level trades do not include Green, Blue, or Purple Dyes. Banners disproportionately likely to be trade options over dyes.

When a Shepherd villager is leveled up to ‘Expert,' two more trade options come up, with two possibilities for each trade option; one of 6 dyes, or one of 16 banners. I have set up over 100 villagers to trade with, the majority are in creative (though I first believed there was a problem on my Minecraft realm). I set up 30 more villagers today in a single-player creative world, then leveled them up to Expert so I could document their results. I found that 83% of the available trades were for banners; of the remaining 17% (which were dyes), there were only brown, cyan, and magenta dye trades present. This matches the experience I had in survival, and all previous trades I had experimented with.

From the available information online regarding Shepherd villager trades, the results should be more randomized, and should have included at least a few of Green, Blue, and Purple dye trades.

Unable to confirm, green, blue, purple, and other dyes do show up as trade options (somewhat frequently).

You might be extremely unlucky? (Luck based issues aren’t bugs)

I was also unable to reproduce in 25w21a
