Now that we have hardened clay blocks, I think it's time to add a bit of color.
I suggest adding two additional blocks:
1) Dyed Clay Block
Adding dye to a clay block would turn it into a "Dyed Clay Block". It would be a dull almost gray version of the dye color used, ideal if you want muted tones.
2) Glazed Clay Block
Smelting a dyed clay block would turn it into a "Glazed Clay Block". A glazed clay block would display the dye's color with vivid brightness, ideal for cheerful or opulent settings. It would have a less noisy texture than wool, forming an almost solid block of color, and it would be more durable and fireproof.
I think this would add a nice aesthetic option, and in many cases be nicer looking or safer than wool. Wool would still be useful when you want a cloth like texture, or if you want a cheap renewable building material.
Hm, yeah. I guess painted wood would be nice for a lot of buildings. It seemed a little bit unrealistic at first, but that's because I was viewing it as dyed wool when it really can be treated more like painted wood (not that dyed wood doesn't exist but painted is more common).

I think it makes more sense to have colored clay than colored wood. Although a few more wood colors, like ebony, would be nice too.
