No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't think you can copyright a color, per se. You can trademark certain uses of color in certain schemes. For example, the walmart smiley is trademarked, but they can't go after people just using a yellow smiley. or like, Checker Cabs, with their yellow and black livery. (as mentioned elsewhere, the pantone colorset is trademarked.
Further, you can get patents for pigments- specifically, their production methods, and how they get bound into a solvent or whatever. For an example here- Vanta Black. If someone were to get their hands on some second hand, the people that make it can't stop them from using it, but they could go after another company producing it the same way they do.
Copyright protections are for works of art (or other works, eh.), and while there are plenty of monochrome works, part of what makes "art" ... "art" is composition. For example, in the sampling of monochrome, that first one is a blue panel set inside a white frame. Others, you see the single color is composed of texture. (the Yves Klien painting, for example.) Or, like Gerhard Ricther's solid gray which was expressly intended to convey... nothing (A lack of emotion or feeling, etc.)
But all of these are more than just the color they're painted in.
