Reason: Here's some aliases meant to make it a bit easier to consistently tag antennae, horns, and fins, namely since people are split between using the singular and plural variants. There might be other appendages with similar issues but I haven't thought of them yet.

I noticed that teal has been aliased to green in certain cases (horn, tail, etc) and cyan to blue. I'm not really sure why this might be the case since teal and cyan are in a range between blue and green and are distinct from either color and are given tags for some anatomy but not all. In fact I would think cyan should be used over teal and be applicable to all sorts of things.

I also noticed that a lot of the gold tags have been aliased to yellow. I actually find the gold tags to be pretty useful at least for describing body parts. There's usually a distinction between gold and yellow in that gold tends to be shinier and more metallic, at least in its depictions in art. The same goes for silver, but to a lesser degree.
