It is my experience that color does not much matter........but I have to admit I have never had any experience with pink.

the color does not matter, I know a girl that shoots a pink bow and I'm pretty sure she's killed bigger deer then a good portion of people on the here.

She also has a pink release, pink fletching, pink peep sight.......

I think you get the jist

Deer can't see colour so you are fine to get whatever

I heard that deer see pink as grey....which would make it an excellent colour to have out in the field.

I had heard that deer can see the colour blue. Never heard anything about pink, tho. One time many years ago, I took my wife with me on a scouting trip. She wore pink sweats and we had a Muley doe walk right up to us. She was very curious of my wife, for sure. Might be a good thing, using pink.

There are lots of opinions on this topic but there have been some interesting studies at the University of Georgia (and a few others) on animal vision - specifically colours and UV light.

It's worth a read - here's a link to one of the articles:
