Both were from another breeder, who basically set up a grab-bag to choose from.
Don't feel bad, the pinks looking red threw me off at first too.

Here is an example of the RED gene:

This particular rat was a black hooded that was diluted to beige by the RED gene. You can't really tell in the pic but the eyes are a Ruby dark maroon, not black.
Not all RED's have eyes this dark maroon, but most have noticeably darker red eyes than PEW's.
