Anyone know what the legal status of bus route colours is, in terms of their exact hex code? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:colour
Our local #Oxford UK bus company has some official route colours, it seems: https://www.oxfordbus.co.uk/services/park-ride. I’m sort of assuming we can’t just pick those colours off their website and paste the hex code into colour=* on the main route relation, since it’s part of somebody’s branding and stuff.

@richlv @karlos @achadwick @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml protecting a colour as a trademark isn’t anything new. But in the case of the use in question I would at least check if that is actually the case since it is not without effort and quite expensive.
Nominative use would still be allowed when necessary.
