I tried making own resource pack and cannot get custom water color to work. Portal particles work just fine. Should I be able to change color of the water particles?

My color.json
{ "particle": { "water": "ff9538", "lava": "ff9538", "portal": "ff9538" } }

Here's also latest log if that is any help.

Colormatic does not implement the base colors for water and lava particles because these particles are not colored. For legacy reasons, they are still accepted as properties in colors.json, but they have no effect.

My bad, I just assumed it should work since they're present and it worked with optifine.
