There was also this joke (which did turn darker two years later): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quotes#2012-07-20 .

That brings back memories, we said it got “elopped” back then.

Why, yes, I still have 2 or 3 N9s with the boxes… Probably dead by now, but keeping them still.

Ah yeah, looks like you can trademark a colour for use in a particular industry: https://thehustle.co/can-a-corporation-trademark-a-color/ .

In case of OSM, that would be the same as using company names. When we map McDonald’s, Target or Lidl, we use the trademarked names.
IANAL, but it seems like colours would be similar.

Perhaps @simon has a better take :)

It… would be weird if colours on their own could be copyrighted. Like somebody holding a copyright on #FFFFFF.
