It's only because the phase of the modulated pulses gave a pink image on a color monitor. As far as the panther goes, I would suspect it was because that was a popular cartoon at the time the signal was introduced and it sounded clever.

Anyone know why the figure of the Modulated Pedestal Signal in the VPR-80 Service Manual (Part II Section 3, Video System) in the -03 version of the manual was originally titled Pink Panther Pulse in the -01 version of the manual?

Recalling the original cartoon series I used to watch as a kid, didn't our character ascend some steps outside a night club or similar in the title sequence?  Maybe that's the connection...
