New home construction- PINK framinig materials- why?

Question

n the building of a new home, we notice some use a lot of the lumber to frame the home that is stained pink. Other homes by the same builder in the same neighborhood have no pink wood at all. What is the REAL answer- keep getting conflicting answers.

Pink color color identifies them as stud grade pine.  
What I was always told from the ppl I asked!

Ask the builder!!!!! Are you sure it is stained and not just a natural color for the type of wood? It may be that some framing is Cedar (Redwood is in the Cedar family). Some framing might be either green or kiln-dried Douglas Fir, which is more common. Green DFir might be pinkish.

I personally prefer pink lumber in my walls because it means the women at the mill where the lumber was produced Really Care!  ;-)

I just put in concrete pavers. I chose them over stamped concrete because they are much more durable, no cracking ever, I also think they are much more attractive than stamped concrete. The price is comparable so for me it was the best choice.
