Registered trademark rights

If you register a trade mark your registered rights are for that mark as filed i.e. in black and white. If you file in a specific colour combination your registered rights will be in that mark in those colours. However, your infringement rights extend to similar marks so protection may extend to other colour combinations. This really depends on the mark, the goods and/or services and the impact the colours may have. There are no hard and fast rules as each application is considered on its own facts.
