we may have stumbled upon an easier way to get colored wool...
The reason i'm asking this is because i found a pink sheep! If I can breed one more with a white sheep, then Ican get TONS of pink sheep and pink wool.
what i'm saying is that maybe in the future, lets say you breed a red sheep and a yellow sheep. there could be a possibility of making an orange sheep.
That needs to be fixed. If I breed 2 black sheep, I should get a black sheep. If i breed a black sheep with a white one, there should be a probability of getting a brown/black sheep.

That's not how genes work. If you breed a white rabbit with a black rabbit, the rabbit will not be black with white spots or white with black spots. The dominant trait will emerge, whichever color it is, and the baby rabbits will be one solid color. However, they will still be carriers of the recessive color.
The point is, it should be either color of the parents. 50/50.

Nice idea, and it could be a good mechanic for the game, but you have to remember that not everyone on the forums speaks biology.

They didn't say anything about spots...they said..brown or black... I'm not sure where you're getting spots out of that.

Just waiting for Forge to officially release for 1.13.x to remove unneeded mobs from 1.13, like Phantoms, from the game because, in my gameplay based opinion, they add nothing of value to the game.
Fun fact: Clicking a bed every 30 minutes doesn't make you a better player, it makes you one who clicks a bed every 30 minutes. Wouldn't you rather just mod them out of the game completely?

I trecked back a brown to find out they only breed white
Pink wool isn't that tough to get, you just need plenty of bonemeal. use bone meal to get rose, then rose crafted into red dye x2, then 2 bonemeal plus 2 red dye equals 4 pink dye. Apply to sheep and sheer for 2-4 each time = 8-16 yield
Ummm... Sheep are originally white, that means there genes are for white wool. example in the real life, if you die a cat red, and breed it with a white cat, (and the "red" cat was originally black) you're not gonna get a pink or red cat. Your gonna get a black or white cat, depending on the dominant genes. Same would go with sheep in the game.
Painting sheep green and getting green baby sheep would be as bad for geneticists as it was for sheepshearers when punching them made the blocks come out.
When you breed a Full Black and a Full white cat, your not gonna get a gray cat.
Your mostly gonna get whatever color is the dominant gene.
You might actually get a gray cat, it depends on the genetics. There are, rarely, brown, gray, white and chestnut Friesians even though that breed is pre-dominantly black.

Hopefully they will at least make the offspring random colors again. All white sheep herds are boring.

Expanding on the "it depends" with a human example, dealing with a darker parent and a lighter parent, the child will be no darker than the dark parent and no lighter than the light parent, usually falling somewhere around the middle ground, because pigment doesn't actually work like that (dominant/recessive color) in many cases. It's important to note that different species color genes can behave very differently. Do we want to simulate actual real world sheep genetics, or should we make up a simplified Minecraft system with a loose basis on genetics? Most likely the latter. Because who actually wants to keep genealogy charts for their virtual sheep? The question is then how to do this and off what premise to base it.

Stupid people say stupid things. Sometimes smart people say stupid things too. It's when the stupid people say smart things that life gets interesting.
On reddit, notch said he tried to make it so breeding colored sheep would yeild colored sheep. However, it doesn't actually work due to a bug. So it is perfectly feasible that they may breed colored in later updates.
And forget real genetics, this is a game. We follow the rule of fun in game design, and the rule of fun says we breed colored sheep.
For realsies?
