Aldus PageMaker comes with specifications in RGB/CMYK of 750 or so
Pantone colours, which are used in the printing industry.  I know
Pantone is a trademark; does this mean that the colours (and/or their
names?) are trademarked?  Furthermore, is there a useful (=> RGB, XYZ,
CMYK, etc) specification for the colours available?

Many thanks.
