It is always the responsibility of the gun owner to make sure his/her weapon is safely stored, regardless of it's color...

Lebell, I get the sense that you have a solid understanding of how to inculcate gun saftey to a kid, and, while I don't, I do know that it can be done (because I have know how to handle a gun safely since I was old enough to lift one, thanks to Dad & Grandpa). So to you, the color of a gun is a non issue, because a kid in your control is going to know how to use it safely regardless. To folks who didn't grow up with guns (or teach themselves later), it's not so obvious. Pink and powder blue are just not threatening colors. They're toy colors.
My suggestion to folks who would ask the question, though, is not to buy a pink gun. My solution is to not keep a gun in the house, but I never could hit anything anyway (right handed, left eye'ed).
