Greta Gerwig’s live-action Barbie movie is very, very pink. So pink, in fact, that it caused an international paint shortage.
This is according to Architectural Digest’s interview with production designer Sarah Greenwood, who said that Gerwig’s desire to have a completely pink set had some funny “consequences.”
“The world ran out of pink,” Greenwood said.
She wasn’t exaggerating, either. Greenwood claimed the amount of paint needed to match Gerwig’s vision led to an international shortage of fluorescent Roscoe paint. According to Gerwig, Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer, the sets employed the heavy use of pink paint in lieu of CGI most of the time.
