Accidentally deleted the yellow and green Tags in Finder Preferences and want to know how to get it back

While I was having a playaround with Tags in Mavericks, I accidentally deleted the yellow and green Tags in Finder Preferences and want to know how to get them back please.



This is all I have shown now in Finder Preferences.

I've managed to figure it out/solve it by doing the following provided by someone on another forum:




Open a Finder window, select anything inside it, right click for the Contextual Menu and hit "Tags"




Write a name for the tag you want in the dialog box (use Green for to get the green tag back) and the Green tag should reappear. If not, click on "Create new tag Green", select a colour (green) and that should do the trick.



I then repeated the above for to get the yellow tag back (obviously putting yellow in place of the green).
