Default S550 Orange Dexcool Turns Red/Pinkish?

Probably a dumb question to ask but I just want to be sure.

Did anyone else get Red/Pinkish coolant in their Mustang? Was gonna top off my coolant in my S550 and it appears red in the reservoir and pinkish when I pull some out.
I've heard the Orange Dexcool turns pink overtime, is this true?

Thanks for any info.

LIGHT angle is why you see two different colors from the reservoir and not.
HEAT and iron particles changes the color from Orange NEW, to what you see.
