You're a tag-removing monster, Gilda.

I don't know why but removing this particular color was much more enjoyable than others. ^^

Clearly you're trying to get rid of this tag because you hate Falord.

Not only I got rid of it, but also I replaced it with pink_fur, pink_hair, pink_eyes, etc, just to taunt him. There is no end to my hate and malice.

Anyway, if I see correctly only tags left are: brown (18 pages x 150 posts per page), black (22 pages) and white (28 pages). Pink was only 12 pages long when I started it. So I think I have enough of this for a few days...

Good work.
I've been retagging black and white whenever I have spare time. Already tagged most of the avians, currently working on scalies.

Speaking of colors, there's also cyan. 45 unsorted images left. Dunno if it's even a valid tag color, but since there's over hundred pics tagged with cyan_body...I've used it myself on a couple of occasions. But maybe those should be divided between green and blue. Same goes for teal.

Then there's tan. Which seems to be used for both the color and tanning. Even though the wiki says not to confuse it with suntan.

I worked on cyan a bit this morning, I think it's a distinctive colour enough for its own tag.

There was a discussion here on the forum a few months ago about tan, can't really remember how it ended up. There was discussion about creme, fawn, and other tan-ish colors and lumping them with tan. Might be a good read if you want to bring up cyan and related colors for a lumping/splitting discussion.

Thanks! That explains a lot.
I've been vary about using cyan, but looks like it's distinctive enough. I suppose same could be said about teal, even though there's some pics under there that seem more like cyan. Aqua and turquoise are also occasionally used..

It just seemed a bit odd to me that there's so many color tags in the green-blue range, compared to blue-red and red-green. (Teal is distinctive enough to tag, but not violet or magenta? Hm.)

Because pink/pastel colors can soothe you (related read)

A suggestion

We should be able to use colors on wiki pages >_>
I mean, yeah, words are nice and stuff but you can't describe a color (except technically -- "Pink is a mixture of red and white." --) better than by seeing an example. Also, it'd be better to make a decision by adding several colors that fit each theme.

For example blue_color: from what color and to what color it's considered a blue theme?

That or link to images in the same way as I mentioned.

Edit: Can we use colors on wiki? Or I just can't because level?
