In a world where colors can be owned, the tale of "The Pinkest Pink" paint is not just a story about a vibrant hue; it's a narrative that dives deep into art, creativity, and the controversial ownership of colors.

This saga intricately weaves the rivalry between Stuart Semple, and the infamous Anish Kapoor, the self-proclaimed king of color patenting. Buckle up as we embark on a journey filled with artistic rebellion, innovative pigment creation, and a fearless challenge to the status quo.

The Pinkest Pink emerged as more than just a color; it became a symbol of artistic freedom and an emblem of defiance against the monopolization of creativity. In 2017, Semple launched this incredibly vibrant shade, determined to create a paint that was not only eye-catching but accessible to all artists.
Inspired by Kapoor’s exclusive hold on Vantablack, Semple made it his mission to democratize art materials and make vibrant colors available to everyone, rejecting the notion that a single artist could own a color.

Semple's creation process was unique and collaborative. He engaged with the artistic community, listening to their needs and desires for a pink that would pop, excite, and liberate. Thus, The Pinkest Pink was born, crafted with love and a promise to inspire creative expression without boundaries.

The clash between Semple and Kapoor is as vibrant as the colors they represent. Anish Kapoor, known for his ultra-absorbent Vantablack, created an exclusive aura around his ownership of color, which Semple viewed as a gatekeeping tactic that stifles creativity. This led Semple to publicly declare a war—not just against Kapoor but against the entire concept of color ownership.

In a cheeky and spirited manner, Semple launched several initiatives, including the #SHARETHEBLACK campaign, which aimed to raise awareness about the absurdity of patents on colors. Through social media and engaging content, he rallied artists worldwide to stand up against Kapoor’s exclusivity. The feud became a playful yet meaningful dialogue about access, creativity, and the essence of artistic expression.

The Pinkest Pink has since become a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing rebellion and creative freedom. It is more than just a paint; it's a movement that challenges the traditional art world. Artists from various backgrounds have embraced the color, using it to create works that provoke thought and inspire joy. The Pinkest Pink has fueled a community of creators who believe that colors shouldn’t be owned; they should be shared, celebrated, and utilized to express individuality.

The impact of this vibrant pigment extends beyond the canvas. It has sparked conversations about intellectual property in the art world, encouraging artists to challenge corporate control over creativity. Stuart's Pinkest Pink paint embodies the spirit of community and collaboration, uniting artists to fight for their right to express themselves without limitations.
