Is gunmetal grey a copywrited colour?, if so which car manufacturer has the copywright?
Answers:
Gun metal grey is a GM color but i don't think it's copywrited.
You can go to any auto body color store and they can mix the recipe for you.
They can even put it in a can for touch up.
I used to work for Chevrolet Pontiac Canada Group at the GM Technical Center in Michigan.
actually, i have a pair of A&F shorts they call gunmetal grey, so if it is copyrighted by a car company, those sons of fitches are in blatant violation.
You cannot copyright a color. You can only copyright the name associated with that color. In the instance of "gunmetal grey" this name of the color cannot be copyrighted because the word "gunmetal" is descriptive to a particualr type material. If I had a color that I called "charcoal black" or "ice white" I could not copyright those colors due to the fact that they are descriptive of common substances.
Now if I were to have a shade of blue that I called "Joe K. Blue" I could copyright it. I could not copyright the specific color itself but I could copyright that as the name associated with that color so that nobody else could leagally offer a product or service using "Joe K. Blue" by name without my consent.
No. In actual fact gunmetal is a bronze from which gun barrels were made.
A Russian cannon, made from gunmetal, was captured during the Crimean War.
ALL of the Victoria Crosses awarded since then have been made from it.
'Gun Metal Grey' is a colour more resembling the cast iron cannon.
I don't believe that colour can be copyrighted.
