Coca Cola red

[SlightlyChilled]

Has any one used a vinyl that is real close to the coke red. I know the it is there own color.

Thanks

I really doubt there is one that exists. I believe Coca Cola has trademarked that color and if it were any where near their red I am pretty sure they would say something.

are you making a Coke logo or just some red to go along with a Coke logo? if it is for Coke, they can provide all the info you need to make stuff for them.

I do not believe that it is possible to trademark a colour for exclusive use.

Only in conjunction with the shapes and marks associated with the brand...

Yes, of course....

But a simply a colour on its own... not a chance.

Back in the day, did a LOT of work for both Pepsi and Coke (but never concurrently).

Pepsi red = Tomato Red.

Coke red = Cardinal Red.

Thank you that's what I was looking for. This guy has a old pop cooler from coke and it has little grooves for a sign so He was looking to get some Plexiglas and cover it in red then have his logo in white. This way there is no damage to the pop box.

there are companies like TD Bank that have a vinyl made to there spec's and buying it is nearly impossible.

Go ahead and check with 3M for the buying minimums; they have the Coca Cola RED

True.

But the colour itself is not protected and can be used by anyone who wants to use it.

If one could trademark colours, then there would be no colour on Earth left in the public domain.

Petty Blue was just what they called the B3 mopar color when it was on a petty car. I believe the code is CMYK 84, 43, 17, 1 or 77, 1, 11, 0 by some peoples standards.

 

[SlightlyChilled]

just need to get close as I could.

Nobody in the world has exclusive use of any particular colour.


Now, if someone manufactures a certain colour and is picky about who they sell it to, well, that is their business. But the colour itself is not off-limits to anyone else.

Do you understand the difference?

I own Skywatch Blue. No one in the world has it because it is a closely guarded secret and I've never shown it to anyone

Well, then when I trick it out of you, I'll sell it to all takers and make a mint...





Buaaahahhahahahahah....

oldgoatroper: yes, but try and tell that to a die hard Plymouth guy.

The Basin Street Blue is the common color for B3. Not saying this is the true color by any means just what most use in this situation. There is alot of confusion and the actual color code.

I have done a few cars in this color including a 78 petty kit car. Was going to do my current Volare the same scheme but went with a yellow/flat black as a bit more traditional for a street/strip beast.
