I agree with that personally, having a trademark for a particular colour is clearly a dubious concept.

- lozenge 8y agoThe trademark can only apply to related products. For example you can't sell phones with a logo using t mobile's colour, but you can sell shampoo.

- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI'm not so sure, when it's an integral part of the brand (Cadbury purple for example) I think it's justified.
- realusername 8y agoSince you have a limited number of colours on a computer, isn't that just a trademark on a number? And to go a bit further, what's the difference between the Cadbury purple and a purple so close that you can't tell the difference visually?
- shakna 8y agoMost trademarks on colours refer directly to a Pantone colour, so far as I'm aware. A Pantone colour will list the required method to create an item with that colour. That is, the mixes required to create it for printing on paper, or for dying clothes, etc. It's more detailed than just a number.
