You can combine the above modifiers and body parts to make a complicated colour tag if required. For example Cre-/br,bbl+,wor_,pye,eau indicates 'I am a mix of dark red and brown with a light blue belly, transparent orange wings, yellow points, and golden eyes.'
For plants, treat the body as the trunk or stem, legs as roots, arms as branches, wings as leaves, neck as flower stem, and head as the flower.
Notes:
Although one can detail most parts of the body with this tag, it is still a good idea to only put down the important features in an attempt to keep your code short. As well as a short code for e-mails and news posts, you may want to have a second full-length code that you put on your Web pages with all the elements you want in it.
The same goes for different shades of colours. If your particular colour is not there, then you can specify it in full within "double quotes", but try to use the given codes as much as possible to avoid your own code getting too long!
When specifying different body parts, the main colour is assumed to be the body (or trunk or stem). If you have different body parts of different colours, you should specify them individually, for example Cre,sbk,sag indicates that one is red with black and silver spines. If you were to use Cre,sbk/ag this would indicate that all your spines have patches of black and silver on them.
When suggesting new colours or body parts, please don't suggest ones that are identical to those already specified or can be specified using modifiers.
