This seems to be a completely different case.
The attempt of aliasing was based on the fact that "there are variants of foxes that have black coats in reality", not in an actual species.

The whole idea of aliasing away entire species because there are colors within their names is extremely harsh, and sincerely sounds unnecessary.

Note: red squirrels have fur tufts on their ears differentiating then from other squirrels; actually, even monochrome posts have been tagged with 'red_squirrel'.

-1 to this idea. There's black panthers, blue-eyed black lemurs, red foxes, and plenty of other species with colors in their names.
