Inspired by forum #305991, I've been meaning to make this BUR for a while now.

I'm a bit confused as to when we need color tags then given that these are made of cloth and we have color tags for most other fabric things, hats, scarfs etc and probably even some non wearables as well such as capes. I can see based on the wiki these were actually deleted manually by one admin before they were an admin then re-added by the site owner three months ago so I don't know if he sees some value in them? @evazion you tell us. Personally I say if they have significant counts keep them. And white towel does (Actually these seem to be sorted by post count?). If not we would need some color tag for "unworn" fabric.

Either way it's just strange they don't imply towel.

BUR #31171 has been rejected.

deprecate white_towel
create alias pink_towel -> colored_towel
create alias blue_towel -> colored_towel
create alias yellow_towel -> colored_towel
create alias green_towel -> colored_towel
create alias red_towel -> colored_towel
create alias black_towel -> colored_towel
create alias purple_towel -> colored_towel
create alias grey_towel -> colored_towel
create alias orange_towel -> colored_towel

White towel is definitely useless but I don't think non-white towels should be impossible to search for.
