I don't think you can patent color codes, only color names. Pigments are patented but are used to make up the color that is part of a color code. You aren't reselling the same exact thing (pigment) under another name, you're just using it for another product (paint). If I got some of BMW's yellow M3 color, I wouldn't be able to sell it under its name "Dakar Yellow." So I'm wondering if I changed the name if I could sell it then.
