Stuart Semple vs Anish Kapoor: The Color War Escalates

British artist Stuart Semple has created the world's pinkest pink, called Pink, as a direct response to Anish Kapoor's exclusive rights to Vantablack. Vantablack, developed by Surrey Nano Systems and patented by NASA for military and aerospace use, absorbs up to 99.96% of light, making objects appear flat. Kapoor began experimenting with it upon its release, angering Semple, who then invented Pink. Semple's color is available to everyone except Kapoor; buyers must sign a legal declaration stating they are not Anish Kapoor or affiliated with him. The same restriction applies to Semple's Diamond Dust glitter. Semple commented, "Let Anish keep his black. We still have the rainbow to play with." The controversy has boosted Pink's sales, which are sold out at under £4. Kapoor responded on Instagram with a photo of his middle finger dipped in what appears to be Pink. Semple replied with a victory sign in black, possibly Vantablack.
