Why are some tags grey and other tags blue?

    When you browse tags, some are grey and others blue.

    Inquiring minds want to know why. :V

    Do you mean in the ‘most popular tags’ section?

    The colours themselves I think depend on the style you have selected (mine are orange and white), and at a guess I’d say one is for tags with 10+ pages of results and the other for less. Not 100% though, as I wasn’t really aware there was a tag search before I found this thread.

    Edit: Verified it changes based on style.

    Edit 2: The 10+ page theory doesn’t hold out, as some 9 and 8 pages tags are also that colour... I still think it’s to do with the amount of results, but I’m not sure what the cutoff is besides above 5 and below 8.

    Cutoff is 150 (halfway down page 8), but I think it alternates between grey and blue with increasing text size; "worm" is grey, despite being the second-most-common. I think there just aren't any others that happen to be in the grey zones.

    ‘worm’ is grey on mine too, but what is more common? ‘self insert’ and ‘worm’ seem to have the same amount of results (full 20 pages), which is weird, as you’d think ‘self insert’ would be grey too.

    Edit: Although I suppose it’s unlikely that it’d have the exact same amount of results, so there’s probably results it won’t show past that, which leaves me guessing which is more common (the grey ‘worm’ or the larger ‘self insert’).

    Yeah, 400 is the search limit.
