Not sure about that. If you select for example pouches, you'll only find 3 (small, medium, large), not an item for every possible colour (which would be impossible in that case). The additional information, like colour and contents is stored in the NBT-data of the pouch.

As I know nothing about modding itself, I don't understand, why Mevans obviously used seperate items for each possible contents of mugs or for each possible tile colour (limiting colours to 16), instead of storing this info in the NBT-data as well. This is why the tabs for those items get so huge.
