Implicating cyan_background → simple_background
Link to implication

Reason:

117 tagged with cyan_background. Suggest tag imply to simple_background, similar to the 13 color tags that already imply to simple_background (from black_background to yellow_background).

(for those suggesting cyan-EXAMPLE tags alias to blue-EXAMPLE tag ... cyan is a "greenish-blue color" (Wikipedia )

+1, surprized it isn't done already.

Cyan is one of those borderline color tags that barely avoided invalidation, but remains problematic in many ways. Constantly mixed up with green, blue and teal, and usually tagged simply as blue_background. Thanks to all the users with different monitor settings.

████ - cyan
████ - teal

Heck, even one of the wiki thumbnails is wrong.
The first thumb in cyan_background belongs in either teal_background or just green, instead of cyan. And many of the 'teal' backgrounds are cyan.

Too much of a mess to be worth keeping.

To be fair, teal is a shade of cyan, in fact, I don't even know why we ever had both of them, teal should have always been aliased to cyan since it's literally just a darker cyan (cyan is 0, 255, 255, and teal is 0, 128, 128,).

and brown is darker shade of orange and we dont have them aliased to each other.

Yeah, but brown actually looks considerably different to the human eye, to the point where we categorize brown and orange as different enough to be their own things, same thing is true with most other warm colors. Human eyes are weird and complex things and it's kinda hard to explain why we consider some things to be worth separating into different groups but not other things; the top half of the hue wheel has about 6+ different color groups (violet, magenta, {purple}, pink, red, orange, {brown}, yellow) where as the lower half only has about three (green, cyan, blue), and judging by most aliases we don't even consider cyan to be distinct from blue (which imo is kinda dumb) but that's a whole other discussion.

Right, orange and brown are easily distinguishable. Whereas monitor settings can make cyan look like teal, or teal like cyan.

Maybe aliasing them would work, but trying to keep both cyan and teal seems like a losing battle.

Honestly it's kinda already a lost battle, since tags like cyan_fur/hair tags have already been aliased away to blue_fur/hair and teal_fur got aliased to green_fur, it feels like it's only a matter of time until the rest of 'em get aliased to blue or green.
