Color coordination/color-coded

BUR #59694 is pending approval.

create alias color-coded -> color_coordination

Looking at the wiki and posts tagged with these tags, I don't see much difference between them

Related: multiple theme colors

@7263 @Mexiguy what's the reason for the downvote?

I see color coded as simpler and looser usage of assigning color to characters for whereas color coordination based on the character and or group theme

Yeah, it's something similar for me, they aren't quite the same concept. color-coded is a more broad tag meant for stuff like idols and magical girls which usually have an official key color meant to represent each member, and is more often used with shared costume (e.g. post #3731704, post #6019771, post #10611948) and the main requirement for the tag is the usage of the key color, meanwhile the way the color coordination wiki is written it has to do more with the composition of the image and the only requirement is that characters have different colors "to create the sense of "coordination"" (???). Maybe you could argue that color-coded is a subset of color coordination.

As it stands, when it comes to similar clothing belonging to groups, these tags are used very similarly, but I think I understand the difference now. There are many posts where, for example, dialogue bubbles are colored—you can't call it coordination, but you can call it coding.

Currently tagged:

• Similar costumes, the accent color is the color belonging to the character: post #10716682 (color-coded), post #11351668 (color_coordination)
• Similar costumes, the main color is the color belonging to a given character: post #11275869 (color-coded), post #6313320 (color_coordination)

Do I understand correctly that the first one would be an example of only "color-coded", and the second one - also "color_coordination"?

BUR #60359 is pending approval.

create implication multiple_theme_colors -> color-coded

I don't understand the difference between these two tags that well, but it seems to me that if coordination is a form of coding, then this tag is also a form of coding

I think same dresscode would fit the coordinated color vibe more. And depending on magical girl series, they might have different dress but color coded to each of their characters. Yet conflictingly their outfit would still be of magical girls as the theme.

I don't think Inui Toko is a green but she needs to if the grouping is pushing RGB with Lize and Ange.
