Pink is made using red and white pigments. (What a depressingly ugly
word.) If you add black pigments, you get not a shade of red, but a tone.
Add the right grey to red, and you'll get the same result as darkened
pink.

Now, if you're talking about light, you're correct. Pink light would be
every colour of light, with red foremost.

No, for the same reason as above. You'd have to remove the black and then
add white. Alternately, you could shift the wavelength from indigo or
near indigo toward green. You still would not have a light blue like "sky
blue" unless you added colours from the rest of the spectrum.

They meant "the colour of most lilacs", which would be a sort of pale
purple fuschia wossname.
