If you put something pink in there, you could clearly see that the color was brownish. But people perceived it as pink and it was death to a quick sale.

We have similar tile in the bathroom in our late 1950's house - if nothing's in there, it's perceived as pink, but if you put, say, Southwest colors (or anything actually pink) in there, it's clear it's sandstone. I think that's what I'd do if I had it on the market - put a touch of actual pink in there so people could see that it's NOT pink!
