Here in the UK Royal Mail have trademarked the color red. Does that mean no-one can sell red pens? No! These trademarks are supposed to be *sensibly* interpreted. i.e. Using Magenta as your companies color is fine, but starting a mobile network and making everything magenta would land you in a bit of trouble, especially if you called it X-Mobile or something ;) Likewise using red is probably OK for everything except a comapny with mail in the title, since anyone who sees a mail delivery company which paints all it's vans red will automatically think it is Royal Mail.

How strange!!! A quick search of the The British Patent Office (www.patent.gov.uk) and their database of trademarks shows Orange hold the colour orange (pantone 151) as a registered trademark too.
