Color schemes I can feel

Stupid question: wouldn't the ND ("You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.") part of the license basically mean that you can't use these colour schemes?

IANAL. But I've been told that an abstract color scheme like this isn't covered by IP laws, while a color scheme in a specific context may be considered part of a trademark or trade dress. In either case it would not be covered by copyright, as that license implies.

Someone who knows more about this should jump in and elaborate.

From her FAQ: Design Seeds are meant to inspire, and you may apply the color combinations to your projects, home remodel, or wedding palette.

So those three are a go ;)

"Your projects" does have a rather wide applicability, I guess :)

That said, I'm wondering what a /proper/ license for a colour scheme should be. If it's a css file (or even an emacs theme), that doesn't seem to be so hard to imagine.
