Now that mojang is touching on leaves, dark oak should resemble pale oak instead of being identical to regular oak. /u/Homebodyboi Minecraft on reddit

I thought that they would have done this last update because of how connected the pale oak is to the dark oak, but I think now is another perfect opportunity to do it. And maybe they could even update the log texture. It should stay the same color since many players surely have used it in their builds with color and gradient in mind. Also, instead of just replacing the texture, another way to change it, could be to replace all player-placed dark oak leaves to regular oak when they update the world. Which will avoid jarring texture differences in builds where players used dark oak as a substitute alongside oak leaves. But idk, that might be unnecessarily complex just for leaf textures.
