Do chickens have an issue with pink?

[BackyardinWales]

It's probably a little late to ask, but do chickens have colour issues?

I've almost finished building their cwt (roosting coop) and have painted it pink, then suddenly thought "is it going to be an issue for my girls?"

I did try Google, but no wiser. Any wisdom out there?

I don't know about chickens in general but my rooster sure has an issue with the color pink. He doesn't like red either! Go ahead and ask me how I know this.

All I know is that red is an attractive color to chickens because it looks like blood and they will peck at it, but I don't know if it's the same deal with pink

My rooster is a rehab. The only times I've had issues with him after we found relative peace was when I went out to feed the flock in my pink pajamas. He flogged me.
He did it again several months later when I wore a red sweater.

Mine don't care about red unless it's shiny like fresh blood is.

He probably had a bad experience with that color...
For instance, maybe someone who was mean to him was wearing something pink/red? Or maybe a pig attacked him lol

Nope. I've had him since he was 3 days old and am the only care giver. It's just one of his triggers.
