How do I tag this?

How should the different colors in multicolored clothing be tagged? For example, if the character was wearing a blue-and-white striped bikini, would I use both blue bikini and white bikini in addition to striped bikini? Or would it only be blue bikini and striped bikini because that's the "dominant" color? For three or more colors, should every color be tagged, or just the ones over a certain percentage?

I'm not sure myself about your specific example, but multicolored clothes wiki gives the general direction to follow when the mix of color is more "colored" than just 1 hue + 1 neutral (white/grey/black) color.

Less "how" in the sense of "what tag" and more "by what means", but is there an easy way to apply a particular tag to many images at once? It's pretty tedious to, for each image, open the editing, paste in the tag, and hit Submit. Either way I'd need to open each candidate image to check whether it actually applies, but it's still a lot of repetitive steps that could be cut.
I think the API can do it, and that would make it easy (just grab the list of images from the tabs I have open, feed that into a short script, and done), but I got banned from it somehow; not sure what I did that was too much. And anyway I don't know if basic-level users can use it to modify posts rather than just get them or their info, as I've done until now.

Yes, you definitely should open each image and check whether the tag applies. To speed up the process of adding a tag when it applies, use the keyboard shortcuts:
Press “E” to switch to edit mode, Ctrl+V to paste, Ctrl+Enter to Submit.

There's also shift-E to open the tag box as a pop-up to make other assorted tagging faster.
