Is it possible for a corporation to own a color? This dissertation shows the surprising answer to be yes as it traces color's assimilation into the intellectual property regime over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beginning with the invention of synthetic dye production during the Second Industrial Revolution and concluding with the U.S. Supreme Court decision permitting single color trademarks in 1995, it examines the "properties" color has at different times and for different groups of people and how these properties were turned into property. The project also introduces the sociological concept of "propertization"-the social process by which unowned things are transformed into property for the first time-as a form of economic accumulation transacted through moral justification rather than market exchange. Building upon prior theoretical work on original acquisition and my own empirical research findings, I argue that legitimate chains of ownership start with the gearing together of two types of normative distinctions: classification-the determination of worthy objects of property rights, and attribution-the determination of deserving subjects of property rights. Applying this conceptual framework to disputes in elementary-school classrooms, industrial chemical laboratories, artists' studios, WWI battlefields, the floor of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the odd Chicago-area dry cleaner, the comparative historical analysis maps the different ways that color became enmeshed in institutional regimes of valuation and appropriation-whether as a matter of cultural significance, aesthetic taste, or the manufacture, marketing, and pricing of goods. The study ultimately demonstrates a growing reliance upon abstract mathematical modeling as a basis for normative decision-making in modern arts education, technoscience, public policy, and property law. What is more, the substitution of idealized models of natural and social phenomena for certain messy and unmeasurable aspects of empirical reality not only transformed color and property as objects of meaning, value, morals, and interests; it allowed them to join together in novel ways.
