I'm thinking the same dyed-leather approach could extend to other items in the component era (1.20.5+). I was thinking how we could map the 1.21.11 Netherite Horse Armor to a dyed leather_horse_armor with dyed_color=8878727 (with the dye hidden from the tooltip). Even possibly mapping Copper Armor to an orange dyed leather armor instead of iron.
The turtle helmet being green (say, 4706631) is a slightly different case since the solution would need to be from the legacy NBT era, so the strategy there may be different, but idea the same.
