Cryptoprocta 1,184 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Are these picked-up 'unfilled seaches' filtered through a human brain? There's a picneed today for #AlamyPicNeeds: Agouti fur colour cat An agouti is not a cat, but a rodent. I hope Alamy isn't suggesting that we put in incorrect keywords in order to accommodate the ignorance of some customers. That way the search would be even worse than it is now. (Side question: does everyone else put 'colour' as a keyword for a colour photo? I don't, though I put monochrome or toned in the very few cases where that is appropriate.)

Colin Woods 958 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Side reply: No, I too put mono, monochrome... for B&W photos and if a scene is of particularly colourful elements then I put 'colourful' in the keywords. Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes, that and colorful too! Link to post Share on other sites
wiskerke 3,774 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) False alarm. Agouti fur cat is a very normal search term and has nothing to do with rodents. It's about a cat or any other domesticated mammal having a certain type of striped coloration. wim edit: google images The opposite is non-agouti, e.g. a black cat.

I assumed it was the same sort of misapprehension as the often misdescribed 'civet cat'. Apologies. Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, "agouti" is often used as a colour, in cats, rats, mice, guinea pigs, etc. It refers to a flecked mixture of black and brown hairs (like an Agouti). Link to post Share on other sites
