Hues

Invalid Colors
  • Cyan - tag as teal
  • Magenta - tag as pink
  • Lavender - tag as purple
  • Indigo - tag as purple
  • Maroon - tag as red

Particularly light or dark shades can additionally be tagged as light or dark, though these should not be used by themselves except in monochrome images.

For objects with more than one color, a tag should be used for each color. For example, a jacket with red, blue and yellow stripes should be tagged with red_jacket, blue_jacket and yellow_jacket. In these cases, either the two_tone_* or multicolored_* tag should also be used (multicolored_jacket, in the example case) depending on whether there are two or more different colors.
