T-Mobile Demands Website Stop Using The Color Magenta

I have seen some funny stuff in my day...hell, I have even been on the receiving end of threats from companies but never over a color. Apparently T-Mobile sent a cease and desist letter to Engadget Mobile requesting that they not use the color “magenta.”

So last week Deutsche Telekom, owners of the global T-Mobile brand, sent Engadget a late birthday present: a hand-delivered letter direct from their German legal department requesting the prompt discontinuation of the use of the color magenta on Engadget Mobile. Yep, seriously.
