Barbie’s set decorators Katie Spencer and production designer Sarah Greenwood never owned a Barbie and ordered a Dreamhouse from Amazon to take inspiration for the sets
The production of the upcoming Hollywood film Barbie caused a global shortage of pink colour. The film's production designer revealed that the construction of sets used so much paint that “the world ran out of pink”, according to Architectural Digest.
In an interview with the magazine, Sarah Greenwood talked about constructing the sets of Barbie. “Maintaining the ‘kid-ness' was paramount,” said Ms Greenwood adding that she “wanted the pinks to be very bright, and everything to be almost too much”.
The production designer said that she did not want to forget what made her love Barbie when she was small. Talking about the sets, she shared that the amount of pink used in its construction triggered a worldwide paint shortage.
But, according to Rosco, the company which supplied pink paint for Barbie, the Covid-19 pandemic had disrupted the global supply chain and the production of Barbie in 2022 contributed to the shortage of pink paint.
