Pink Whites have red eyes although sometimes they can look black is bad lighting.

Pink whites have the ruby-colored eyes due to the influence of the beige gene.  (Pink whites have both a white gene and at least one beige gene).

Whites (AKA white mosaics, mosaics, silvers, silver mosaics, extreme mosaics, reverse mosaics... they're all genetically whites but these terms are used to describe their patterning or veiling) have dark eyes just like standard grays.

I have heard of some breeders' lines of whites with blue eyes although I have never seen any in person.

That is true, I used to have a beautiful blue eyed white mosaic.  I gave him to JoAnn on this board.  Circle M Ranch in North Carolina has a run of chinchillas that produces them.
