The egg shell is basically calcium. Vinegar is a weak acid, and "etches" the calcium egg shell slightly. Since the water is colored, it leaves behind that coloring in the slightly softened surface of the egg shell.

How do you make natural pink dye for eggs?

A natural pink dye for eggs can be made using beets, cranberries or juice, raspberries, red Grape Juice, or juice from pickled beets. If you wish to make hard-boiled Easter eggs, boil the eggs in water with the dye material and a tablespoon of vinegar, and then simmer for about 15 minutes. If making pysanky, soak the eggs in the juice or a boiled fruit/vegetable solution (with added vinegar).
