They sell leather dye in different colors online. Just google it. Going from white to pink should not be a problem. I have not tried this myself but it is usually going from dark to light that is a problem. Good luck

They sell dye for for shoes in all colors at shoe repair shops. As a matter of fact they sell more than one shade in some colors. It's very inexpensive. Especially compared to trying something that you aren't sure will work & might ruin the shoes! You can also have the repair shop dye them for you.
I have also used white liquid leather on white tennis shoes to cover cracks, scuffs & scratches etc. But I think it only comes in white & black.

They sell leather shoe dye by the show products, but I have only ever seen bhalck or brown. Maybe a shoe repair shop??

They sell shoe dye for leather shoes in shoe repair shops. Or the shoe repair shop should be able to do it.

I have never tried it... But I don't see why this wouldn't work... KoolAide was used a lot by my classmates in high school to dye hair. I would think that if you make KoolAide using less water so it's not as diluted and brushed it onto the suede, it should work. I would be careful not to get the suede too wet though.
