The thing to keep in mind is that this is a trademark, not a copyright or patent. So they don't "own" magenta, but are given reserved use of their specific color of magenta for use in identifying their company (in Germany). It's no different than Apple protecting the use of the word iPod, or better yet Microsoft and Windows. Context plays a very important role.
