As I am sure y’all know, the Barbie movie is out and it is exceeding box office sales well beyond expectations, and expectations were already pretty high. I have no comments or insights about the movie as I have  not seen it… and am not likely to watch it in theaters. When it streams? A friend and I have a general pre-watch classification system for movie. Barbie falls in the “streaming online, weather is terrible, I’m stuck inside, and why not” category.  But all that is neither here or there. This post is following the “breaking news” that Barbie’s pink is (a) not real world and (b) that her pink looks fake!  Seriously, there was an article in this morning’s news.Pink is not one of the primary colors on the spectrum of light, but exists as a combination of other colors.  In the online world pink is a color that has a pale tint of red with a hex code of #FFC0CB.  In the horticultural world pink occurs in flowers because of a molecule anthocyanin, depending on the acidity of the ground as to the intensity of the pink.

So I can dependably report that pink is real world and is not fake… just thought you’d want to know.
