Pink noise is a very specific spread-spectrum noise that  
contains all the frequencies according to a particular curve - so 
there's only one type of pink noise.

not really useful apart from testing your hearing :-[)

Personally I would just adjust it to how it sounds best to you.  
Without very specific EQ & room monitoring tools, you could just 
be pissing in the wind, pardon the expression.  Nothing wrong 
with feeding pink noise to each of the speakers individually and 
adjusting them to 85db SPL though, that's half the battle right 
there.  And not using silly DSP on 5.1 sources too!
