The pigment ultramarine blue is running low due to pandemic-related supply chain issues. According to Yahoo News, "One of two main factories in France that supply the pigment for the color stopped making [synthetic ultramarine], and the other, unable to keep up with the resulting demand, restricted international exports."

Titanium white is also affected, leading to shortages in the paint and coatings industry.

The problems are the result of several factors, including Covid shutdowns, the U.S.-China trade war, truck driver shortages, winter storms in Texas, and shipping container disruptions.
