    How is this even trademarkable? It’s like associating light tan with a lumber company. Yeah no everyone already does this, you aren’t preventing customer confusion by enforcing it, you’re just blocking competition from doing something obvious that’s part of the cultural association with the product not the brand. Like isn’t that literally how you lose a trademark?
