Since the Barbie Movie launched into our foreground, we've been treated to PINK. To a specific Barbie Pink:
"The colour barbie pink (Pantone) using hexadecimal colour code #e0218a is a colour of magenta-pink. In the RGB colour model #e0218a is constituted of 87.84% crimson, 12.94% green and 54.12% blue."
While Barbie came about in 1959, the pink signature colour came about in the 1970s. There is so much pink used in the movie that a global shortage of pink paint resulted. Barbie Pink has power over supply and demand.
Lots of fun and low controversy in the Barbie colour realm.
But look! That nose on the horizon! There are accusations of "Jewface" in the headlines over Bradley Cooper's prosthetic and hugely prominent nose (according to reporters) to represent Leonard Bernstein.
The press is ignoring this more than whether a straight actor can take on a gay role, as Leonard Bernstein was gay as is represented in the movie.
But that prosthetic nose is far more compelling than whether non-gays should play gay roles, and so on. Leonard Bernstein's children defend Bradley Cooper endlessly in the headlines.
Barbie Pink is good fun. Leonard Bernstein's nose is juicy stuff.
This Sakura watercolour was combined into a montage with a textured image. I don't see any Barbie Pink in this image - I just overlaid #e0218a and it is vividly magenta. Actually screamingly magenta - like a big prosthetic nose.
