What is the meaning of "Man I am glad I'm pink"?

There’s a Verizon Fios commercial, in which a bunch of people are dressed in solid colors, playing “HD Pixels”. One guy used to work for the “phone company”, and is all beat up. A large man next to him dressed all in pink responds “Man I am glad I’m pink” to which the beat-up man seems to agree “Mmmmmhm!”.

What the heck does that mean?
