Can the trademark color be changed?
If it's a color, you can't change it. However, if it is black and white, it is equivalent to not specifying a color, and colors can be matched as needed in the actual use process.

If you accidentally specify the color scheme of the trademark when applying, and later find that the color is a bit off-putting, if you want to change it, you can only resubmit the application for trademark registration as a newly applied trademark. If you change the color of the designated trademark without authorization, it is equivalent to changing the registered trademark without authorization, or even pretending to be a registered trademark.

After the change, if it is similar to the registered trademark of others, it may also involve trademark infringement, resulting in the revocation of the trademark or huge compensation. Moreover, for some trademarks, color is also an important element of its distinctiveness, and frequent color change is not conducive to the development of the brand.

Imagine, is it strange that Coca-Cola turns blue and Pepsi turns red? However, for decorative purposes, it is usually allowed to add borders, shadows, shading or gradient colors to trademarks.

Legal basis: Paragraph 1 of Article 49 of the Trademark Law stipulates that a registered trademark shall be revoked if it is changed without correction at the expiration of its validity period.
