The orange on Resse’s candy wrappers has the same trademark. You can own a color.

Can someone use the same shade in a completely different field like idk a shoe brand?
It is a *trade* mark. Which means it applies to the specific trade. There can not be any toys in that shade of yellow, but they'd have a hard time applying that logic to completely unrelated products.
Basically how University of Tennessee has their orange T trademarked. You can't use it as a logo and you can't use it for anything unless they paid you to do it for them, like printing shirts or making decals is illegal unless they officially licensed it.
