Own A Colour

[keveh]

I quite like this idea.....

Did you know...

Your average computer, smartphone and tablet can display 16.7 million colours?

That's a lot of colours!

So we want to name each and every one of these colours for at least £1 to raise money for the children's charity UNICEF.

All the money raised will go directly to help transform children's lives, why not pick a colour for yourself or do it as a gift for someone you know.

Tell us why the colour is special to you, donate £1 or as much as you can afford and please use your social networks to help spread the word.

Does it have a name? If I could name a colour I'd call it 'Minge'. A tinge of minge has a ring to it, no?

Sounds great...

Donate a dollar, then make millions from the ownership of that color.

Pretty sure this doesn't actually constitute 'owning' a colour. In the same way those daft pricks with deeds don't 'own' bits of the moon, nor are stars actually named after people. Sorry.

Pretty cool idea though. Good way to make money for charity, and nice to have your 'own' colour.

I know own the colour Green - and have banned his use on any radio commentary or football phone-in programme.

Pretty sure this doesn't actually constitute 'owning' a colour.

Hang on, let's get our legal department on this one

I was going to write something along the lines of that.

I dislike the way some companies have done stuff to stifle the 'competion' (in relation to color 'ownership')
Like Cadbury (in Australia).

Because I wrote my original post kind of intended as some sort of joke: I should donate a dollar fifty minimum
