Which is weird because Gangut is smaller than her in every way and doesn't have the inferiority complex.
Gangut is a decade older she's basically a contemporary of Wyoming, Orion, Kawachi, and Kaiser so the metric for comparison is different. Gangut isn't short at all compared to contemporaries in fact she's the longest out of all of them.
By the time the Colorados began building in 1919 they were markedly shorter then her only real contemporary Nagato, but this is regarding only length, displacement was similiar between them. Between Colorado and Nagato it was basically a straight trade of protection vs speed. While often lumped in with the two Nelson had almost half a decade of research and development to play around with and honestly I don't really consider her a contemporary of either. Nagato and Colorado were both basically the last iterations of the WWI designs of their respective countries, while Nelson was the fitst inter-war treaty design.

Still doesn't excuse artists calling Colorado the loli battleship with the smaller and maybe younger-looking Gangut there.

To add a little bit to this, a decade or half a decade may not seem like much time, but shipbuilding technology and design techniques were still advancing at break neck speeds.
