i will support this if all dyed connects to regular red stone or have a way to make one that all colors connect also if its not red than would it be blue stone if it was blue

How bout a new redstone thing called a connecter? It would be able to have redstone connect from all 4 angles and connect redstone currents. I think that'd be pretty cool!
Clarify your suggestion, it makes no sense, really
If I understood it correctly, then redstone connectors would allow you to connect any coloured redstone into it, allowing for a blue and green line to combine into one line of red, rather than having to hook up both the green and blue line to whatever input you want.
I have an idea for the redstone connectors by the way.
What if the colour of the cable inputting into it affects which sides it would output to?
Inputting with blue dust would cause it to output to a side with blue dust only.
Inputting blue and red would output to a side with purple dust.
Inputting purple would output to both red and blue.
The same would go for all the other coloured dusts. Combination dyes would output to the two dyes it's made of, while inputting two dyes would output to the combination side. Basically, this would allow for a different take on AND and OR gates, as well as many more things.
Well actually it doesn't matter what the inputs are, you can have any colored output. I'm currently trying to make a picture to explain this more thoroughly.

Sorry if it seemed like I was saying that was how it worked.
I meant for that as a suggestion for how the connectors could work.
Oh yea I knew that, but your suggestion doesn't make sense with my idea for the connector. I can see you misunderstood. Maybe my new picture can help you get a better understanding of the connector.

It seems useless to me, you could just have repeaters if you don't want the redstone to connect. However I somewhat agree with the addition of a redstone connector, but it's name is terrible and I give very minimal support.

This idea could be revised a bit, like the crafting recipe should only be one redstone and a single dye on top. A redstone connector for different colors isn't needed though since you would be able to convert the power lines by running it through a solid block, like stone.
I do see the purpose it serves, as it get's annoying dealing with redstone signals that overlap, like a redstone signal in a loop can force the loop to fully halt due to a full circuit. I don't see it being added though, because if they really wanted redstone to be easy, they would have made it configurable.
Though users aren't supposed to suggest mods, it might very well be made by a modder someday.
Being able to make one line of Redstone not connect with another line of Redstone directly next to it would be one of the single most useful functions added to the game so far in terms of Redstone. It would open up a lot of possibilities and, if nothing else, let many redstone machines be much more compact.
But I would have a few major differences on how I think it should be implemented:
I can't think of a scenario where you would need more than 2 colors (you can't stack Redstone, so you can always just alternate between two colors if they didn't connect). So I think we only need one type of Dyed Redstone, which I would suggest as "Bluestone" just so it would contrast but it doesn't really matter what you use to craft it.
All repeaters, comparators, and any other items which connect to redstone should ignore if it's redstone or "bluestone," they should treat them both the same. Redstone - dyed redstone interactions should only be different when it comes to the redstone dust. It would get ridiculous having "dyed repeater, dyed comparator, etc."

Though this idea makes sense, and may be helpful in some cases, I don't think that it's worth the amount of resources it will take up. If there was Redstone for all 16 colors, the Redstone Inventory would be cluttered with 16 redstone torches, 16 redstone blocks, 16 redstone comparitors, etc. Plus, redstone mechanics usually find workarounds to the connecting redstone problems.
I like this idea, but I think you should reduce the number of colors (say like 6? Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Purple). Also, how would this work with redstone torches and such? Will those be able to be dyed to control power flow or will the dust inherently latch to any available component?
i will support this if all dyed connects to regular red stone or have a way to make one that all colors connect also if its not red than would it be blue stone if it was blue

Doesn't redstone already do that?

Since different colors of redstone don't mix, the connector can connect to all colors. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
