I'm colorblind, and really struggle with differentiating certain colors. How should I tag things like hair and eye color when I upload a post? I've just been looking at the related tags for a certain character, and picking out which color tags are used with them, but that's not gonna work all the time. Should I just leave those kinda tags out and hope someone else might add them? idrk
you could use hair_color_request or eye_color_request. if you need to create a new request tag, use the format meta:<object>_color_request where <object> is the name of the thing you need help with. the meta: part is important, as it tells the system to create the tag as a meta tag.
If you don't feel confident in tagging colors you're blind for on the fly you can either use a color picker, a map of colors & real names on a second screen/tab that reminds you what tag we use for whatever you can see, or you can just skip them or use a request tag like what the user above suggested, and I don't think someone will find you at fault for that as long as you tag the rest of the picture's details properly.

On the subject of a color picker:
If you are on a Windows machine, there is a great free color picker program that's part of the Microsoft Powertoys suite.
Microsoft.com: Color Picker utility
It works system-wide so you can pick a color from anywhere on your screen, has a zoom function for pixel perfect picking, and in the settings you can enable an option to show a readable color name while hovering.
And for the actual color picking itself, it has a picked color history, and shows the picked color in both HEX and RGB (among others)
