What's the color tag used for?

I think its supposed to be colored, otherwise you might as well tag everything that isn't black and white.

I... don't know. I would have sworn it used to have a wiki definition.

post #890137 and some others use it as "A primarily monochrome/B&W image with a focused object in color" or thereabouts but it's not consistent at all.

Not the best-named tag in general really.

You're thinking of colored in which it was a black and white image that was colored.

There is spot color which deals with monochrome images with a colored object.

No, colored is a B&W image having color added after the fact, often by a third party.

I tagged color for monochrome images that are not B&W (red & white, yellow & white, etc) since I didn't know what to use.

Wouldn't that be considered monochrome?

Yes, I tagged both.

I have only ever used it together with monochrome for images which are half-colored-half-monochrome such as post #822088 and post #825246.
