'Barbie' Movie Blamed for Global Pink Paint Shortage
The production of the upcoming "Barbie" movie directed by Greta Gerwig required so much fluorescent pink paint that it emptied Rosco's global supply for the shade. The shortage was caused by a combination of factors, including a stunted supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a deep freeze that hit Texas in 2021. Despite the shortage, there are still similar hues available from other paint brands for those looking to bring the Barbie theme home.
