Grass/foliage colors on maps still use the colors from Alpha v1.1.2_01 and earlier / do not change color with biomes
For water, see MC-201151.
The colour used for grass blocks on maps is constant and does not at all change even when crossing into other biomes. Vexingly this color appears to be the same as the alpha grass, meaning that the color maps use for grass is well over a decade out of date.
Foliage (trees, etc.) is affected similarly, and is also just as outdated.
This bug is not present at all in Bedrock Edition, and as such maps respect biomes. The following is an example with savanna, plains and forest biomes visible:

Closely relates to MC-201151 .
The colour used for grass blocks on maps is constant and does not at all change even when crossing into other biomes. Vexingly this color appears to be the same as the alpha grass, meaning that the color maps use for grass will in a month from writing be over a decade out of date.
Foliage (trees, etc.) is affected similarly, and is also just as outdated.

This issue can be fixed easily, I did it once for a MC mod myself, don't know why developers are not interested in this. It adds much value to the game if the different biomes also show up differently on a map. Please Mojang?
Note that this bug does not exist on Bedrock Edition, and as such Bedrock Edition can be used as a model for the behaviour expected on Java Edition:
Ticket transferred to [~Awesoman3000] per request.
Can confirm for 20w46a.
This may be intentional, as maps were added far after the old grass color phased out. The feature may be intentionally 'Bedrock Exclusive'.
oh. I thought that was intended, and I've uploaded a suggestion on feedback site, unfortunately my post disappears for some reasons.
Please add this Bedrock feature into Java, that little detail makes Minecraft a lot natural. So please Mojang, I'm begging you!!
