The tank is pink because of the artist Aleksandra Mir but it was there in its primordial greenish state before that and I've never been able to get a convincing explanation of why.
I was going to suggest that it used to be green, because it was camouflaged, the same as all the other tanks were, but the moments passed now, so I won't bother.
