I open carry at work and some years back a company called Radical Grips offered hot pink 1911 grips and I installed a set, just to be different. I also bought an acid green set.
Anyways, I was asked constantly if that "was a real gun"?
I became concerned that a bad guy might try me out thinking it was a Barbie toy and restored the pistol to it's original colors.
The color does have a significant impact on perception.

The pink guns are not the problem... the yellow ones are. 
We were at Walmart the other day and I pointed at that cute little pink single shot 22 and said to my wonderful wife "I think I'll get one of those for Livy in a few years".
Nothin will get you the stink-eye faster from my wife than saying you want to buy a pink gun in a few years for our still-infant daughter.
Haha...its kinda fun to rattle her cage now and then.

Hmm, I kind of tried that with my wife. Our little girl was born a week ago. I said that we need to start a fund for her first gun and I got the stink eye as well.
there is abosolutely no problem with multi colored guns. some people are scared of BLACK guns, and need a different color. its fun to ask the idjits who rail against evil black guns if a pink stocked gun is more or less evil.
its easy to find that day glow pink or green gun in low light conditions. who hasnt had a black phone, or car keys dissapear in front of you on a dark carpet?
