In fact, what I learned from Project Runway is the fashion designers do just that. Jeremiah, I agree we need to seek our inspiration from nature or other sources.

You can trademark them, in very rare cases (such as the color pink for Reynolds insulation), but trademark wouldn't apply here since there's no likelyhood of confusion between a site design and a dress. So, I believe the answer is no, as I understand the current state of US IP laws. Justin, it’s my understanding that you can’t copyright colors.

Reusing something succesful makes sense.

I am best at coding and architecture but rather terrible at color. I'll try this. Do we need to watch out for any copyright issues, etc., if borrowing color sets from a catalog scene (e.g.)?
