Barbie Film Causes Global Shortage of Fluorescent Pink Paint

The production required a large amount of bright pink paint, which led to the depletion of the particular shade of fluorescent pink made by Rosco.

The company confirmed that the Barbie film used as much paint as they had available.

The pandemic and extreme winter weather in Texas damaging materials used to make the paint also contributed to the supply chain issues.

There was just enough paint to complete the set for the production, which was mostly shot at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.
