We already nuked pillow and bed sheet colour tags, I don't see how these would be more useful. I mean, who would even search for beige towel?

Might need a check if they are all tagged towel first.

would it be better to alias them? i can see users recreating these in the future

That was done with the pillow variants at first but they were in the way of the autocomplete so they were de-aliased, it's easy to empty the tags if they are populated again.

It's worth pointing out that there is a difference between this and pillows/bed sheets in that towels are often being worn - indeed looking through the white towel tag it looks like about half of them have the towel being worn. Usually things that are worn have colour tags. Then again most of those that do have rather more than "about half" of the tag uses being worn.

Unsurprisingly there's posts tagged with colored towels that are not tagged with towel, so a mass update in this case might work better.

Alright, changed the BUR to a mass update, the existing votes shouldn't be a problem since the end result is the same anyway.
