'''Colorbars''' are a type of [[fanart]], often associated with [[blog]]s such as [[LiveJournal]]. 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.

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".
