The ears aren't truly pink, they generally are just a lighter shade of the same colour as the rest of the rabbit's skin. However, the flesh on a rabbit's ears is very thin and they are more lightly furred. So when light passes through the capillaries carrying blood through the ears, it can give the appearance of a pink tinge. This is especially so on lighter colored animals such as white rabbits.
