I couldn't find the back issue of "Print Magazine" from March/April 2004, pg. 176, which apparently gives more details.

Would there be any way to actually show a sample of Tiffany Blue on the page? I'm not sure how the Pantone system works or if the fact that the color is trademarked would prohibit its use in the article. --user.lain 00:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PMS confusion[edit]

Replaced a muddled parag - confusion over whether a custom color exists and whether it is in the swatch books. --mervyn (talk) 10:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"A common misconception is that the color has been developed as a custom color in the Pantone Matching System (PMS), with PMS number 1837. However, there is no PMS 1837 in the Pantone Matching System swatch book. The reason for this is that Pantone made the exception for Tiffany & Co. to use the year That they were founded (Tiffany & Co. was founded in the year 1837 )as there Pms number and since it is a copyrighted color they can not print it in any of there swatch books. If it went by normal Pantone numbering ironically, it would not even be blue as that number falls in the red region of the color wheel. The PMS colors closest to Tiffany Blue available in swatch books are PMS 318 and PMS 319."

But....[edit]

Color infobox and Pantone color[edit]

Pantone is a print color system, so there should be no specific corresponding RGB or hexadecimal computer coded colors if the Pantone color is the accepted definition. In response to an earlier comment, I'd suggest a photograph of actual objects bearing the color officially to represent it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.61.68.140 (talk) 14:05, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

= Trademark and exclusion from swatch books[edit]

I cannot locate a reliable source for this: "As a trademarked color, it is not publicly available and is therefore not printed in the Pantone Matching System swatch books." All references I've found to this fact seem to be a word-for-word copy of this sentence, with no way to verify it with additional sources. I'm inclined to remove this until it can be verified.

Indeed, in digging a little deeper, there appear to be 4 trademarks active with the USPTO that are the basis for the specific trademark claims of Tiffany & Co...

I couldn't seem to find a specific reference to a specific color - but rather a general reference to the specific shade of "robin's egg blue" that is used on Tiffany's products. I'm not a lawyer but that would seem to cover even *similar* colors? Was hoping that the trademark info would give a clear answer (e.g. "Color R, G, B is claimed") but no, it seems to have just raised more questions... Jewell D D (talk) 04:07, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
