Pink isn't real. There is no wavelength of light that is pink.

Clearly, it's light-ish red.

Pink is real, or you couldn't see it. And you couldn't see it unless light was bringing it to your eyes.

For pink light to be perceived, it needs red cones to fully react, and both green and blue cones to only partially activate.

Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.
