I think it would be great if by adding extra ingredients - beans, bubbles, vegetables etc - you could add colour or changes of material when crafting tools. Glass or marble boards, yellow, red or pink buckets, silver-handled picks, non-stick pans etc. Buckets could also have a series of designs or emblems on them. This would make the tools more marketable when setting up market stalls or stores. There could also be quests to make or collect a range of coloured items.
(Sorry meant to post this in ideas by the way)
