There has to be a goon out there somewhere who names paint and come on, everyone is curious why there are paints named Garden Trug (Martha Stewart), Intuitive (Behr), and Creole Cottage (Sherwin Williams). What company owns the copyright on "Blue"?

What's the story behind paint colors? Do companies treat the names as copyrighted/trademarked in some manner? If Glidden discontinues "Spring Pear White", can Ralph Lauren then use that color name or is it forever Glidden's?

I'm bored. Tell me your favorite colors and how they got their names. Or if you work in another industry, how do you name your products?
