It all comes back to how you start your process, however the screen/monitor needs to be correctly calibrated with key set values before you even start and then calibrated once a month with one of the X-rite products (generic umbrella name), or when the software indicates. Lr like all ALL converters has it's Pro's & Cons, there isn't one standalone, (well there is, but it would baffle everyone except Arash perhaps and would take him at lease a few days to understand it and over a month to full grasp it). However... WB is the cornerstone to any manipulation of an image without getting this right, you compound all subsequent changes and biases, hence why all Software starts with WB in their dev module.
The RP is not a definitive posting as its working from your OP and only 256 colours, but Pink, that to me indicates what you are seeing is defiantly not right and I'm guessing Dorian you are on a laptop which can't be calibrated, the tilt of the screen and any other ambient light will also affect what you see. To my knowledge only Jon and myself process within a dark room with only the light from the screen and both monitors have hoods to block any straying light.
