Nose on the left. It's like, halfway between brown and pink. ("Brink", as Yahtzee would say.) Seems to be a common color for canine characters' noses, pads, etc. and I don't know how it should be tagged. "Tan" doesn't feel right either.

Ashes-of-roses.

For tagging purposes, though...I can't decide between brown and pink either :v
Pinkish-brown, brownish-pink...

Looks a bit closer to brown than to pink for me

Brown, nipples are pink.

Tan can also be an option

I used this: https://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/

and got these results

Apparently it's "Slightly desaturated red."

So pink?

It's pink.

It's like a darker version of salmon (the colour).

So I guess you'd throw that in the pink category?

I'd say it looks pink to me. The fur is brown, the countershading is tan, the nose is pink and the nipples are an even lighter pink.

Given how close it is, just add both colours.

People will always disagree on where the boundaries between colours are, so for searchability it's best to tag both colours if it's close so that people can still find a post they remember.

I'd say pink.

Technology Connections made a good video explaining the color BROWN and to me that looks like a brown that, in relation to the rest of her fur, stands out enough that i think pink would be an appropriate tag

Color picker puts it at about hex #b8806e, so that's in what I'd consider to be the tan range, although it looks kind of pinkish in contrast to the surrounding colors.

This is the move of the future.

ehh, but this could also lead to tags becoming bloated with stuff that's not really that close to the color that's tagged, meaning that searches would potentially filled with more posts making it harder to find a post that they remember.

Lawyering up with colour pickers is a fool's errand. Any colour can be made to look like almost any other colour depending on ambient lighting conditions (don't make me bring up that dress). The only important question is what colour it is in relation to the rest of the image, i.e. pink.

In 2010, xkcd had a survey for people to try to name all colors. Based on the results, some of the closest colors are arguably... "pinkish brown" or "brownish pink". Some other close colors include "brownish", "clay", "terracotta", "pinkish tan", and "adobe".

^This

Color perception raises this to a whole 'nother level of problematic. Yeah, it's not actually easy to objectively have some standard for that color's tag. If at all possible, even.
