I have never seen pink pine cones. I suppose this is their color when newly formed. I did some research and found out this is a blue spruce and soon these pinecones will turn to a bluish/gray color. I will keep you posted!

Blue spruce budding out new growth. The 'blue' color results from a blue gray waxy substance that is quite visible in varying degrees. Helicon FB and Helicon Focus used to create and process stack of 29 images, of which 12 were actually used.
