Since no one seems to read anything I gathered here I think the best course of action would be to open another issue.
I feel like this problem has not been recognized. I do not mean to pile up additional unnecessary work in opening duplicates. I actually do not see this issue as a duplicate and would at least like to get a statement as to why it is flagged as a duplicate.
I will open another issue (with the explanation that this is no duplicate made clearer) tomorrow, if I still have the feeling this one got ignored completely.
Thanks,
Michael
No, that is actually not at all the issue me and a number of other players are experiencing.
This is a whole other matter. It is not a duplicate to MC-1313.
The comment of Zakary Walker is also not related to this problem.
Please do read the information i provided with the ticket.
Based on what I just said, this issue is not resolved at all.
I also could not find a earlier version of this exact problem, so I don't think it is a duplicate.
If you find that the matter of colored signs is no vanilla issue at all, please update the status of this ticket to invalid, and not resolved.

Even if this is 'working as intended', it is obviously counter-intuitive and I can see no gain in having the shading of the text looking wrong half of the time. Since the text on these signs is extremely hard to read aswell, I would still like to see a fix at some point.
As this doesn't affect black text, it might not be a priority, I understand that.
Still it would be nice-to-have if one could reliably use colored signs.
Please revisit the screenshot from 30 of September 2013 and evaluate if this is really working 'as it should'.
