Hello jb1958

The yellow of the butter is preventing a true baby pink. You could try using a whiter butter such as Lurpak or adding Sugarflair Superwhite to lighten the buttercream.
Raewyn Read has a tutorial on how to whiten buttercream which you can see here:

Alternatively, meringue frosting without butter will be pure white and would colour without any shade problems. It can be used for filling and covering.
