The data sheets I have been able to find on the APP site describe many different SB50 connector colors (Yellow, Orange, Red, Gray, Blue, Green, Black) but have no mention of pink. |
I'd never heard of a pink SB either. (That's why I had to edit the post above, per FIRST's note in the manual.)

The clones from TE definitely say TE or AMP on the side. I don't know if clones falsely marked as Anderson products exist, but I would imagine that's a possibility. Does anyone know which supplier FIRST uses for the SB connectors, or if Anderson provides them directly?

I hope not. It would be idiotic to violate their own colour code—which is supposed to be indicative of the function of the connector for error-proofing purposes—in order to promote something with no plausible connection to the product.
More likely they (intentionally or not) ran a batch of SBs using the resin intended for the pink PowerPoles.
If anyone can take an end-on photograph of the pink one alongside a red one, we can see if the keying looks identical. Look at
this for comparison photos of the other ones.
