With 12w34a, you can dye Leather Armor and Wolf collars. But I think you should be able to dye more things. Here are some of my ideas.
Books. You just put some dye in the crafting grid with a book and it will dye the book that color. Would be mainly useful for Book and Quills. Because the color of the book would not change.
Beds. You just right click the bed with a dye and it will dye it that color. Pointless, but cool.
Saddles. I heard from dinnerbone we will be able to control pigs on saddles soon. So how about you are able to dye saddles by putting it in a crafting grid?
Beds should definitely be dye-able, although it has been suggested numerous times. To be honest, the color of a bed could simply be stored in a byte value, which could be changed by crafting the bed with a certain dye. Likewise, beds should also have specific wood, but thats a little off topic. Either way, beds should be dyable, and have a color system that works in a similar fashion as what grass uses to change colors depending on the biome.
More on these dye-deas, I was thinking we could make paint. Paint would be made by adding dye to a caudron that is completely filled with water. If the cauldron is filled with paint, bottles cannot scoop from it. Instead, you would use a bucket. Using the bucket will completely drain the cauldron, that is, only 1 use per fill, as opposed to 3 with bottles and water. You cannot pour out the paint, but you can paint objects much the same way you would by using dye. A bucket of paint would have a durability, like other tools, to represent how much paint you have left in the bucket. To make things balanced, certain things should only be colored by using dye specifically, like leather armor.
