What does "pinkness" mean in the following?
Something significant happened under cover of pinkness while we were busy agonising over Scotland and Ed Miliband's dodgy memory. The Financial Times emerged redesigned: new type, new column widths, new colour graphics. What's significant about that, you say?
The Guardian: They used to say 'print or digital'. But do we need to choose?
I'd appreciate your help.

It's referring to the color pink: the quality or state of being pink. The Financial Times uses pink on its website and prints on pink paper. From Wikipedia
On 2 January 1893 the FT began printing on light salmon-pink paper to distinguish it from the similarly named Financial News: at the time it was also cheaper to print on unbleached paper (several other more general newspapers such as The Sporting Times had the same policy), but nowadays it is more expensive as the paper has to be dyed specially.
It's also a play on the phrase under the cover of darkness:
under (the) cover of darkness/night
literary hidden by the darkness of night
They escaped under cover of darkness.
(LDOCEO)
Instead of suggesting that something was done secretly under "darkness", the author used "pinkness" instead as a reference to their usage of pink.
