In 1.3 we got new types of wood that correspond to the log they come from, but only 3 blocks are actually those colors: the normal blocks, slabs, and stairs. Lets add more.
All of these are for aesthetics.
Each idea is rated by a 5 star rating of their importance of being added. = Probably shouldn't be added = Probably won't be added = Good Chance = Could be added = Should be added at all costs
Crafting
There could be two ways that crafting works.
IDEA 1: The output of the crafted item will be based on which wood type is most used. If there is a tie between the items, the output item will be oak type.
IDEA 2: By Ouatcheur, Crafting the items will of course, be the exact same, but trying to crafting something will multiple colors will give you the color that is used the most in the ingredients. In case of a tie, the 'winning' color will always be the one from the ingredient that has the smallest Block-ID (or damage value, for tied-in-number ingredients that all have the same smallest Block-ID).
Multicolored Buttons
To me, the way buttons mixed into the block they're made of was a great hidden redstone advantage. Adding multicolored buttons won't be too much, just a way so you can hide buttons on multiple wood types.
Multicolored Plates
The same reason behind the buttons, plates can be hidden to the block they're made of, plus can be used for tables.
Multicolored Sticks
Multicolred sticks would open up new available colored blocks. The sticks, however, will not create multicolored tools.
One problem though is that the texture of the current sticks is the same color scheme as the spruce planks, so either the Oak sticks will have a new color, or the Spruce sticks will be darker than their block color scheme.
Multicolored Doors, Fence Gates and TrapDoors
If anything, doors appear on every house, and it would be nice for the doors to match colors of their houses. Trapdoors, and fence gates too could match multicolored fences and the color of houses.
Fences gates will also have their type depended normal, so different sticks or planks will be no different.
Multicolored Fences
A commonly suggested idea, obviously since fences are used a lot. They match many aesthetic perspectives for biomes.
MulticoloredChests and Trapped Chests
What belongs in every house and is needed by every Minecrafter? Yes it's chests you dummy.
Why not? Their wood colored, great decor, and they don't have any current aesthetic advantages.
This would also include Trapped Chests. No better way to make a trap insuspicious than disguising it as a regular looking chest.
Multicolored Bookshelves
As a full block itself, bookshelves should've been color compatible in the first place.
Multicolored Signs
Suggested by Fortanono.
Color signs add an aesthetically appeasing decoration so you can make letters mix into the background, and make those fancy couches.
Also, due to how dark Spruce and Dark Oak is, the text for them will be automatically colored white to make them easy to read.
Multicolored Ladders
Suggested by numerous souls.
Color ladders makes your wood colored house more appeasing, blinding into a block's background, and adding more decoration options.
Multicolored CraftingTables
Crafting tables are largely composed of the wood texture, making them stick out like a sore thumb. Although not having large decorative uses, it can make houses more symmetrical.
Multicolored Beds
If they ever implement wool color based beds, this could go along with it, quintupling the possible mixes. Of course that would also make a complete mess of inventory... so this probably shouldn't and won't be added.
Multicolored Pistons
Believe it or not, this revolutionary redstone objects are decorational as well. They can be used as fancy tables so multicolors could help you with your interior, plus, can help you hide the pistons with the wood background.

Multicolored JukeBoxes and NoteBlocks
Although they're largley different from wood textures, they can pimp up your houses. Note blocks can have their song sections color-coded to keep your songs organized.
I maybe abandon this idea. There's a question in the poll if you want to support it staying or leaving.
(Pictures Coming Soon)
Multicolored Item Frames
It's a bit unfair that your stuck with the birch wood for your item frames. Like signs, the multicolored item frames could mix into their backgrounds, making it more appeasing.
Multicolored Boats
Whats a better way of sprucing up (pun intended) your docks than having boats of different colors? Better yet, you could have boat races with different colors!
When these boats crash they will drop planks and sticks according to their type.
Pictures
I mocked up some photos for what the blocks might actually look like. I wasn't able to take pictures of placed bookshelf blocks because the side textures messed up.
It's only an aesthetic change, but it would make a house look less awkward. Maybe they could also be different in other ways beside palette swapping, such as jungle wood items looking slightly vine-y.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Pointing out fallacies to undermine an argument is also a fallacy...
Eh, sounds good. I was sort of planning to attack this as I saw Zigzagar responding, which I sort of formed a mental link of Zigzagar=Bad because of that crazy palladium thing, but it's actually very good. Support.
Wow, it's as if the guy thought people think Mojang thought up the stuff completely on their own. Except for golden apples, those have been here for awhile.
EDIT; And it's like he thinks Mojang is always saying "we completely came up with these ideas on our own".

Well, I used a quite old video. When that e-mail was sent, 1.0 A.K.A. 1.9 was still in the snapshot phase.

I've wanted this to happen for a while, support. I could also remove the little watermark in the banner, if you want.

There is also a mod containing the fences and pressureplates that someone has brought to me.

I go by AquaBuzzardHR on my YouTube Channel. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyrxj072mhHlrhiv6RoZcWw
It is a channel about building and being creative, currently playing on the Lake Laogai SMP.
"Well community, you asked for it and we listened: different colors for wooden objects! Bow down and worship us!"
Want to play Minecraft SSP like Spaceboot1? Try my modpack, all mods made by me, Spaceboot1!
Mojang's never done that...
Maybe signs, but not crafting tables or torches.
Wut.
Anyways, I have nothing against this! Support.
BBCode Render failed due to reaching MaxNestingDepth(80) for Tag: spoiler
Yeah, no crafting tables or torches. And even though I don't think they ever ACTUALLY did this, this one guy sure did.
Wow, it's as if the guy thought people think Mojang thought up the stuff completely on their own.

I usually use oak, but I sometimes use spruce logs for corners of houses for decoration.
Fine I will remove it
I don't find jungle that great, but i like using oak wood since it currently only matches all the types of decor.
Added Colored Signs photos and info.
Added a banner for support.
I Support
Thanks. i don't think removing the water mark will be necessary.
I actually almost posted an idea for dyeable wood, until the new wood types came out, then I changed my mind and loved the idea of wood type colors.
