Example of how to use a Pattern Color

The Pattern Colors are used in game commands to set the color of a banner pattern or shield pattern. The Minecraft ID value is used in the Color NBT tag when specifying a pattern. It can also be used for the Base NBT tag when specifying the base color for a shield.

For example, you can use the /give command to give DigMinecraft a white shield with Black Skull Charge pattern:

/give @p shield{BlockEntityTag:{Base:0,Patterns:[{Color:15,Pattern:"sku"}]}} 1

Or you could give a white banner with Black Skull Charge pattern as follows:

/give @p white_banner{BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Color:15,Pattern:"sku"}]}} 1

Using multiple Patterns Colors

You can also use multiple pattern colors to create more complex items such as a purple shield with Black Pale Sinister, Black Pale Dexter and Orange Thing patterns:

/give @p shield{BlockEntityTag:{Base:10,Patterns:[{Color:15,Pattern:"rs"},{Color:15,Pattern:"ls"},{Color:1,Pattern:"moj"}]}} 1
