Using a monster spawner to spawn shulkers spawns white shulkers
The bug
When you place a monster spawner and use a shulker spawn egg on it, and let it spawn shulkers, they appear white and the value of their "Color" tag is 0 (white), instead of the expected 16 (for end-city generated shulkers).
How to reproduce
- Place a monster spawner somewhere in the sky (preferably in the End), for example by flying up high and running
/setblock ~ ~ ~ spawner
- Then, use a shulker spawn egg on the spawner
- Wait, and then the shulkers that appear will be white (0) instead of the expected purpur purple (16, default)

The bug
Summoned shulkers are no longer white. I assume this is working as intended and very likely a bug fix. However, as MC-107432 is still resolved as "Works As Intended", I created this ticket. This was probably caused by the fix of MC-111196.
To reproduce
1. Summon a shulker.
2.
Notice that it is not white.
Expected result
The shulker would be white when summoned via command, as in previous versions.

MC-87184The problem is that the value of Color tag remains 0 which is white.
