Why is the Holothele longipes (ex sanguiniceps) called "Trinidad PINK"?

I don't see any pink at all.

Most of the common names I can at least make some sense of.
Even the LP being called "salmon pink", I can sort of explain it from the hair colour..

Does anyone know any reason / have any theory for the "pink" part of the H. longipes?

This is a crazy idea, I know, but it's called that because it has bright NEON green in it. I think for some people it's called Pink

Because common names are dumb. For example, Theraphosinae sp. "Panama" is not pink (more of a scarlet colour) yet one of its common names is "Panama Pink".
