create implication black_leaves (0) -> leaf (22904)
create implication blue_leaves (9) -> leaf (22904)
create implication brown_leaves (0) -> leaf (22904)
create implication green_leaves (216) -> leaf (22904)
create implication grey_leaves (0) -> leaf (22904)
create implication orange_leaves (80) -> leaf (22904)
create implication pink_leaves (35) -> leaf (22904)
create implication purple_leaves (16) -> leaf (22904)
create implication red_leaves (71) -> leaf (22904)
create implication tan_leaves (0) -> leaf (22904)
create implication teal_leaves (0) -> leaf (22904)
create implication white_leaves (1) -> leaf (22904)
create implication yellow_leaves (40) -> leaf (22904)

Reason: All colors of leaves, which as far as I can tell are possible in real life.

Also, if you're concerned whether these tags apply to pine trees and stuff: needles/fascicles are a kind of leaf

Why are the color tags plural while the umbrella is singular

It seems leaf was used to refer to a singular leaf (like loose feather) while leaves was used for several on a plant, but then leaves was aliased to leaf. It happened before you or I joined the site, because the alias search credits this to forum topic #21353 from 8 years ago. wait 2016 was 8 years ago

Usually it's topic #21353 rather than forum

I mean, sure, but why are you trying to imply plurals to a singular rather than aliasing the plurals to their singular and implying those to leaf

You mean like alias black_leaves -> black_leaf? Somehow I hadn't thought of that...

The plural is the standard set with green_leaves, but if updating it to the singular and then aliasing that is what is preferred, then vote.

Although, I would like to defend the use of "leaves" plural by taking that old thread for a talking point. engageforth said 8 years ago (forum #185579) they were for aliasing leaves -> leaf like how flowers -> flower is. Drawing multiple flowers is different from multiple leaves, you don't need to draw each individual leaf to convey there is a mass of them. You could look at flat colors of a tree and go "oh, leaves" (fig. 1). If you draw a flower field you have to define some flowers (fig. 2) and to distinguish it from a minimalist patch of grass (fig. 3).
