 I did not know you could get a patent for a color.  That seems odd to me.  Is this something that is normally done by paint companies?  Is the color protected or just the method of making that exact color?

 Time and effort do not equal skill, and skill at mixing colors is not what I would consider artistic skill, but a craftsman's skill.
