Wondering why there are tags for teal_body, teal_hair, teal_eyes, but teal_fur aliases to green_fur. This just seems inconsistent.

because they haven't gotten around reversing the results of the years of cyan denialism yet.

Just tag both blue and green? :P

there should've never been any cyan denialism! Teal is unique in that it is exactly halfway between blue and green, therefore can not be considered to be either blue or green. Equal parts blue + green = teal. Teal =/= green.

I think part of the problem was so many people using it when light_* and green_* was more accurate. See also: Cyan and 'light blue'.

well cyan has more blue than green, therefore making it blue. Teal is equally green and blue, so it's both or neither, not one or the other

Teal is a dark cyan. Cyan is equal blue and green just like teal, but with higher luminosity. Human perception being as funky as it is, though, people infer a bright blue+green as more blue-looking, while a dim blue+green as more green-looking.

Cyan is more blue than teal. My eyes told me this, and I believe them.

of course, I wouldn't argue against cyan tags either. Cyan is still enough difference from regular blue to be considered a separate color imo

going by how colors are defined in HTML, Cyan is 00FFFF and Teal is 008080. identical hues, different luminosity.

Because this BUR to fix it hasn't been approved :'D topic #37305

why hasn't been approved?
also does this BUR specifically unalias teal_fur from green_fur because that's what I want. It makes absolutely no sense that teal_body and teal_hair are their own tags, but Teal_fur aliases to green fur, disallowing anyone from tagging teal_fur

People hardly ever tag colors to begin with. These tags would be out of the way and thus rarely tagged and rarely searched. Teal is not the first color that would come to mind when someone thinks of a character, either.

slushi_(chikn_nuggit)

i'd personally tag her with green_body, but that's a conclusion i only came up to right now and in lieu of a propper teal or cyan tag that i think she deserves. this poor lady is in the godless purgatory of being tagged green, blue or no color tags at all

/me tags light_blue
(joke, that color doesn't exist, either)
I reserve the light_* and dark_* tags for when the color is rather far away from the normal intensity. More useful on grays and browns, though.

slushi_(chikn_nuggit) -light_fur Went ahead and got the ones that it was blatantly obvious that at least she had a very light fur color. Might have missed some, like the videos.

What we need is a picker tool that you point at the object on screen and it tells you the tags. j/k

The raw RGB values are not always right. Colour perception can be heavily affected by other information such as background and lighting of the scene. Do people forget about the dress already?

I remember the dress. Idk why some people saw as white and gold, clearly it was blue and black, despite the poor lighting of the photograph. Cyan is still bluer than teal!!!

Was the joke, heh.
