Common Colors ​

Common colors are basically variables controlled by resource packs, defining the color of texts and UI elements in general. They can be accessed via UI Definitions using the format: commonColor.<namespace>.<path> or commonColor.<path> (if the namespace is minecraft, the default)

They are defined by the common_colors.json file in any namespace (directories in assets, like minecraft).
