I was in a phone room just recently and there were pink backboards on the wall. Everything was removed from them but I could see a faded outline of the 25 pair blocks (with 6 pins across).
So I assume those were for 1A2...

Jeff, I was not lying there are pink ones'!
as far as what the color is, one is to sexy for his install. Just like the song. I'm too sexy too sexy for the pink backboards, I'm too sexy for this job.

Jeff, I got there before you to steel the 66 blocks.
I would have taken the pink backboards, but then nobody would have believed me if I didn't leave'em for you to see!

OK, OK, OK. Western Electric and Suttle made their red backboards more "pink". Other manufacturers, such as Allen Tel, Solonics, Vari-Tronics, etc. took the word "red" seriously and prouced them with deep red color. These guys weren't big producers of backboards in the days of 1A2, in fact some weren't even around then. Today, they manufacture based upon the literal definition of the word instead of the slang that was understood back in "the day".
Western Electric's color-coded backboard system colors were all "pastels". I don't know why, but they simply were, resulting in "light red".

Yeah, I have noticed that, especially on the blue ones. They are more of a light blue.
