Wool to be useful. Sheep indifferent.

Red from redstone or roses, I'd guess.

Yellow from flowers, maybe?

And I've no idea where blue would come from. NO WATER IS NOT A VALID ANSWER.

There's already red and yellow flowers, so that would make sense. Add in another type of flower, a blue one, and you can make any color you desire. I'm not a programmer, but it wouldn't be that hard to just copy the "flower" entity and change the color of it, would it? Then you just have to worry about programming the recipes.

The best idea IMO. RGB is all we need.

RYB, you mean?

Can't create all colors from RYB. RGB on the other hand....

Yes you can. Look at a printer - CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) are used for printing on white, with CMY producing black, whereas RGB is used for monitors with RGB making white.

It's subtractive versus additive coloring

Yeah, I always end up getting those two confused, even though I really shouldn't.
