The description I have (which matches the picture I have) is:

standards are light violet;  falls are white with wide purple plicata
speckled edge, cream beards

so I don't think there is any "pink" in it, although it is a very
stricking iris and one of my favorites. However, it is possible that in
a soil with a different ph the light violet could turn a little pinkish.
