I have a warehouse that I like to add some insulation batts under the
roof panels. These batts would be exposed and not hidden by a dropped
ceiling.

We like the foil backed batts to be black or green in color. But all
the foil backed batts products I have seen come only in silver foil
backing.

How does Starbucks get their green insulation batts? Do they paint it,
or is there a place to buy colored foil batts?

Thanks

PS: I need R19 and better.

I have see backed insulation painted (Sprayed). Sometimes the printing
can bleed through and may require many coats. Not sure how Starbucks
does it, I don't go that often and never noticed.

I'd suspect if it's a general corporate thingy that they get the stuff
specially done. If it's a one-off, something like that may have been
done.

Exposed insulation of most types is a fire hazard and code
violation. Homasote makes insulated panels in a fairly stark
white, (which will reduce your need for lighting) that you could
subsequently paint.

Are you sure insulation batts are what you are seeing? I've seen pics of
green blankets, but it's unlikely they would be exposed. Anyway, you're
saying the _foil_ is green.
If you paint, the foil would loose its reflective value.

The coffee is overpriced, and I'm boycotting Starbucks after they
charged for water to 9-11 rescue workers (_after_ publicity, they
refunded).

while.

you could look at expanded polystyrene. some can be painted [ check with
manufacturer ]. also check fire regs for this application.

Maybe an email to www.starbucks.com would yield better answers.
