Suggestion: Add a palette of colors derived from the block texture to pick a color for a block.

Right now when selecting a new block, you have to select the wire color using RGB values.
Maybe you could also implement a palette derived from the block texture to make it easier to pick a color.
For example for a chest:
Others blocks:

Yes, the rgb selectors suck too, did not want to be too mean so I did not say anything about them.
Re color palettes, discrete ones are much better for the end user than continuous ones. Less options but a lot easier to visualize and pick a color.
After all you don't need in this case 1000s of colors, just a bunch. Maybe something like this:
But only the bottom part, the rest makes it too complicated for what you need. That is a color picker I created ages ago for UI design.
Make the step larger than 5 (maybe 10) to the vertical axis (Luminance), and more than 10 for the Hue (horizontal) and a fixed Saturation (around 70-80) you are golden.
This is an HSL color palette.
Thats a lovely idea. I think can add that pretty easily with a toggle button to switch between RGB and a palette. I've also wanted to remove the current rgb selector and add one more in tune with modern rgb selectors https://i.imgur.com/CYzpqIr.png
I think a simple rgb selector like I showed will be best, there is a lot of options there are would be more confusing than if it was one like mine or that pre-existing on. The idea of it is to make it simpler to understand and easy to pick a color, I feel like a lot of people don't know how the RGB sliders work due to the fact that you need to know which colours mix to make the desired colour. I think the original idea of finding primary colours from the blocks texture will be the besy way of doing it :D along with a toggle to show the rgb selector
