The colors of light are different from the colors of paint. Magenta exists as a light color. that's why the color scale for lights is CMKY. </p> http://austinist.com/2007/11/14/news_bits_61.php#comment-1235628 http://austinist.com/2007/11/14/news_bits_61.php#comment-1235628 Comments Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:42:46 -0600 <p>Magenta exists only in the mind.</p> http://austinist.com/2007/11/14/news_bits_61.php#comment-1235581 http://austinist.com/2007/11/14/news_bits_61.php#comment-1235581 Comments Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:59:09 -0600 <p>that graphical gangster is just a cheap rip off of http://earlboykins.blogspot.com/</p> http://austinist.com/2007/11/14/news_bits_61.php#comment-1235473 http://austinist.com/2007/11/14/news_bits_61.php#comment-1235473 Comments Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:06:17 -0600 <p>Allowing T-Mobile to "claim" the rights to a specific color that is so common wouldn't just set a n interesting precedent, it would set a dangerous one. I'm ok with certain colors or combinations being protected within an industry (e.g. UPS and the color brown fro shipping) but a boundary has to be set. What would stop IBM ("Big Blue")from preventing every other company from using the color blue? T-Mobile should wake up and realize that they are wasting money on a pointless legal action that could be better spent on branding efforts or product research.</p>
