    A good example would be the non-profit org who where sued by Miracle Grow for using GREEN and YELLOW on their package of fertilizer despite the package it's self looking NOTHING like a Miracle Grow package at all.

    Well, last time I checked, a bucket of KFC chicken has Colonel Sanders on it, but there's nothing that looks like him in it. There's not even anything thing that looks like it might come from him, although perhaps we should be worried about what they mean by a "variety" bucket...
