I think you will find the color is copyrighted.

We had a case of an Italian small goods company with the motto - ''Is Don, is good'' and a competitor took up this line ''is Castlemaine, is better''
Don sued and won.
I dont see anything different in this case - it is trading off in my book

This really bothers me. I TOTALLY agree with ame and Jen, being in a similar trade... YOU CANT COPYRIGHT COLOR! Color isnt a thing... its numbers like ame was explaining. Its either a can of paint (Pantone) or a mix of colors (CMYK/RGB).
