A Splash of Color

So it seems that Deutsche Telekom (the parent company of T-Mobile) has sent a “Cease & Desist” order to Engadget Mobile (a technology blog which reviews all sorts of mobile gadgets).
So what did Engadget do to incur the wrath of the phone company? Well, apparently T-Mobile feels they’re the only ones allowed to use the color Magenta.
Sheesh! What a bunch of Maroons!
The image below comes from Engadget Editor Ryan Block and if you feel so inclined, the hex color code is #ed008c.

And yes, it’s possible that despite all claims to the contrary this is all a hoax. If so, I’m not alone in being fooled. But I can’t help thinking that this goes perfectly with my own brightly colored antics.
(Evidently T-Mobile has claimed ownership of the color magenta in the past.)
