Everyone said T-mobile, cuz they dont have Pantone calibrated monitors and that professional printing color sample board in front of them to know its 3 shades darker.

You cannot trade mark a color.

Christian Louboutin vs. Yves Saint Laurent. the judge ruled you can not trade mark a color. This case should get thrown out fairly quickly i am surprised they were even allowed to file it.

It's not even the same color, you twerps

The idea of a color on its own being a trade mark is kind of shady (omg punz) anyway, but these aren't even the same color.
