The pink one is MOSTLY NOT ACCEPTED BY HERBAL MEDICINE FOLKS AS MEDICINAL....ANYWHERE ....
Most likely most of the Allopathic drug companies use all colors and types of this for vincristine ( and other med) isolation...

AM not sure if Todar Mal in AKbar's court included this in his compendium of Ayurvedic Medicines and Indian foods and vegetables I personally do not know the history of this inclusion in AYurvedic medicine...
