Apparently one can trademark colors now. Gizmodo reports (via a long chain of sources) T-Mobile, in their copyright and trademark statements has managed to state that:

T-MOBILE, the T-MOBILE logo, T-ZONES, the T-ZONES design, the HOTSPOT design, T-MOBILE MDA, T-MOBILE SDA, T-MOBILEWEB, the WORLDCLASS logo, the “digits” design, the T-MOBILE acoustic logo, and the color magenta are registered and/or unregistered trademarks of Deutsche Telekom AG in the US and/or other countries.

Amazing. Consider mauve officially mine. I trademark mauve. Its mine. Use it, I’ll fucking sue you then kick you in the shin.
