| Mostly mercury vapor lamp with a color correcting phosphor. When the lamp turned on, most of its emission, is at the short wave UV, so the majority of the visible emission, comes from the color correcting phosphor, which is red colored, which is why the lamp is reddish pink at start up.

| And Low Pressure Sodium can also be pink during startup, but you would know if it's low pressure sodium because it would turn to a very golden yellow color in a few minutes, and as they age the pink turns into a red color at start up..

| Low pressure sodium lamp is also much larger and longer than mercury vapor lamp, and usually burned horizontally, and only rarely base-up, and takes a lot of mins to warm up.
I think micole66, refers to mercury vapor lamp with color correcting red phosphor, during start up.
