It hasn't been possible in the past. Are you sure this isn't related to some mods or texture pack your using? It could be something Notch snuck in or it could be some bug in 1.8, but doubtful.
The fact that 1.8 has been out for awhile and your the only one I've seen report this phenomenon seems odd.
the grass in my base was very green and nice, until a few days ago, it started to turn yellow'ish.
and now my whole base is covered in this ugly colored grass.
can grass change color from one to another?

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
its a plains biome. the whole area was nice and green, and now its all yellowish, and its only green in a few places.
but it might be as you say, the grass is dying somehow. thats what it looks like:P
ive had one power failure with my computer, so it didnt do a decent shutdown, maybe the biomes got changed during this?
im using no texture, and using bukkit server, maybe thats the problem tho, bukkit is messing things up...
Have you touched your misc. and enviroment files in the jar? if so, you ****ed it up somehow son...
