Domestic manufacturers seem to have more problems with orange-peel than foreign ones....why, I don't know. Look at the paint on a Lexus, Acura, Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Audi, or Mercedes and it is just mirror-smooth. Look at the paint on the typical Ford or Chrysler product and it has more orange peel on it than a Florida grove.

Now..as far as pink goes, it was a popular color in the mid-late 1950's.....sometimes in two and even three-tone combinations.....and although I don't agree with image and stereotyping, that color today is considered feminine and would not appeal to most males. Today it is generally reserved for the Mary Kay Cosmetics vehicles ( a pinkish-tan color) and sometimes seen in pinkish-silver or pinkish-coral hues, ( a good example was the Ford Probe ) but admittedly is not widespread.

Now that I think about it though, the location, which will effect spraying laws and climate. Might also just be luck of the draw because I see varying differences in the same make and model.
