How to give a specific item layer a specific tint

[Viler_of_cool]

So i wanna make several items that use at most 5 textures, all of them are white but i wanna make it so that a specific layer has a custom tint.

Im trying to make a milkshake that has different flavors, each flavor having a different colored liquid without making 50 textures that are just recolors, to lower clutter. 

I couldn't find anything on the internet, but i might have missed something, so sorry if i did.

You can register an 'ItemColor' in the 'ColorHandlerEvent.Item' event.
