Pink Palm Centro on the Way?
Rumors of a Pink Palm Centro have been brought up on the SprintUsers forum along with an official looking image. The image shows a pink colored Centro in the same style as some of the official promo images, which were also leaked shortly before the official Centro announcement. While a release date is far from certain at this point, a couple of posters claim to have heard of a January 6th availability date and also an in-store date of Jan 13th from various Sprint retail employees.
The Palm Centro is currently exclusively available from Sprint in the US in Onyx Black and Ruby Red. It starts at $99 when purchased with a select data plan and two year service agreement.
Update:
The Pink Palm Centro has now been released by Palm.

the sad part is that the colors aren't even innovative. they had to steal that from apple.

This is PALM we're typing about so THAT answer is an unequivocal "Yes!".
Be that as it may, however, they probably just were waiting to see if there was a sufficient demand for the device to justify a (large and expensive) run of a color other than black.
RE: True Innovation
Apple didn't invent pink. Although Jobs has probably taken credit for it somewhere along the line.

abosco should be doing The Secret Diary of Ed Colligan.
Allow me to preview:
December 30, 2007: Oh my god. I'm exhausted. I'm drained. I was in the fight of my life and just barely got out in one piece. But I did it. I conquered those narrow-minded bastards on the Board of Directors. Take that, Bill Gates! Tremble, Steve Jobs. The world is mine now. I give everyone: The Pink Centro!

RE: True Innovation
[related anecdote already mentioned somewhere or other awhile back...: A year or two ago I was at Hershey Park waiting for their monorail ride to come around. While standing there with kid in tow I was watching the crowd. One teenybopper girl was text messaging like mad on her flip-cellphone, then ker-placking the cover closed with a satisfied look on her face and body language. Then another message would come in, she'd blast off a text (not QWERTY!) reply, and ker-plack it again. This went on for the entire time we were waiting for the train. It convinced me of the sheer user-interface-utility of a ker-placking cover for a phone for a large part of the customer set. Since then I've watched folks of all types doing the same ker-plack! and with the same satisfaction]

>>>It’s bone chilling cold here in the Boston area these days. As I stand at the train station waiting for my always-late commuter train, I constantly feel the urge to check my email on my iPhone. The problem is, due to the touch screen, I cannot operate it without taking my gloves off. And anyone that knows anything about being cold knows that the appendages are the most important things to keep warm.
This is a continuation of a series of skirmishes that spans various PIC comments.
My retort is that the guy has no history:
