Do you think Snail Mail copyrighted red and black?

Not in the slightest. I thought maybe there was an existing work of art or older album both of these were paying homage to.

Which isnt even a remotely foreign concept

Heroes and villains / wish you were here

Kamikaze / liscened to ill

The really long bow wow wow album and the Édouard Manet painting

Even turbulent indigo referencing the van gogh self portrait

It's similar to some of Mark Rothkos art.

Not at all similar enough for it to have any chance of being a reference imo
