I need some input on dyeable furniture, specifically bookshelves.

I am fixing and updating the furniture dye tub script and furniture that can be dyed.
The issue of dying furniture didn't pose a problem until it came to bookshelves.
First, let me explain how the bookshelves work in the Distro. When a book is put in an empty bookshelf, the OnInsert script is supposed to change the graphic of that bookshelf to a random graphic of a "filled" bookshelf. I had to correct a mistake in the OnInsert and OnRemove scripts that prevented this from happening but now it does what it is supposed to do.
Anyway, the dying issue is that bookshelves are not a partial hue item. So the entire color of the bookshelf, including the books on a filled bookshelf, are dyed as well.
Before dying: After dying: I haven't decided whether to make them dyeable or not. So I thought I would elicit some input from other developers.
Should bookshelves be able to be dyed?
