Pinkie – The Barbiest Pink This is 5 fl oz (150ml) of the flattest, mattest highly pigmented fluorescent pink acrylic paint by Stuart Semple. Pinkie uses a special blend of high quality acrylic resins, optical brighteners and new fluorescent pigments to make a lush flat matte pink so bright it can't be displayed by any computer monitor currently invented - meaning it quite literally has to be seen to be believed!. Mattel – the owners of the Barbie brand have exclusive rights to ‘Barbie Pink’, a colour mark that prevents others from using it, including pop band Aqua for using the colour on their single ‘Barbie Girl’. Mattel have also painted a huge house in Malibu, consequently they now have a proprietary claim over anyone using the same colour pink for decorating which will be a blow to creators everywhere. So Stuart Semple has released Pinkie – the Barbiest Pink and is sharing it with artists all over the world as long as they are not associated with Mattel, the owners of the Barbie brand, to ensure we all have access to special colours that can be used in your work.
