'''Colorbars''' are a type of [[fanart]] that was popular on [[LiveJournal]] in the 00s. Several pictures sharing a theme are lined up (often, but not always, shaded different colours), and a caption is placed underneath. For example, a colorbar of [[Naruto]]'s [[Team 7]] might say "Team 7 is ninja love."  Colorbars have been made to express love for [[fandoms]], characters, and [[pairings]], as well as a wide variety of non-fannish subjects.

 

'''Colorbars''' are a type of [[fanart]] that was popular on [[LiveJournal]] in the 00s, se difundindo em outros sites como [[Dreamwidth]], [[InsaneJournal]] e mais recentemente no [[Tumblr]].

Exclusive profiles for serial, commissioned or themed creation have been produced over the years. The colorbar revival can be considered part of the current generation's nostalgia, with the content of the past.

The earliest colorbar was in support of same-sex marriage, and simply consisted of a rainbow of six coloured squares, with the text "marriage is love".
