I just made the exact same suggestion and with the new colored glass, the recipe is as obvious as it can be,that would also make the need for new interface pointless.
As beacons is already most expensive item in the game by far i see no reason to further up the price besides the price for coloring the glass, it is after all just color and not a gamechanger,
The bonus though will be the possibility to use the beacons as waypoints, as it will be easy to tell them apart,
This will also be very useful on multiplayer servers.
Implement ASAP
(a little PS to the mod that locked my thread.. I DID USE THE SEARCH BE4 I POSTED, maybe i just happened to write coloUred beacons in search, because i got 0 related hits, so maybe search engine needs touchups?)
Deep in the caves the repetitive sound of a pickaxes against the stone can be heard for weeks on end... Me?... I'm a geeky Mincrafter, with an urge to do large projects, and a love for complicated redstone contraptions. Curious?..Follow my work in these places: YOUTUBE: Sn3akr or TWITCH: Sn3akr
i love the idea of it just being a stained glass block just above the beacon, that way it would support all the colors, and the white stained glass could have the same effect as the jeb_ named sheep, like a prism.
i like this method best cause it lest people change the color at the flick of a piston, keeps id's and data values minimized, and by only letting it be the block just above the beacon block itself it keeps it from having to check for a certain type and data value at every block from it to the sky making it rather efficient and less likely to cause lag.
I support this guys idea for it. not the interface and dye idea.
This should also change the texture of the middle of the beacon.

There are things known as the 10 Suggestion Commandments. Many know the obvious, such as, "Thou shalt search before typing thy post," or, "Thou shalt not be vague," but one that no one knows is, "Thou shalt organize thy post." More people need to know of this commandment.

This could be extremely useful, especially for SMP, and it looks cool as well!

You don't say?
I actually prefer the way of dying the beam that is shown in the original post over the way it is being added in 1.8. Support.

I have a special ability to change colors, I can change into just about any Color.
