    Pink is usually the color for a missing texture, here maybe the environment texture. Could you upload your .blend to https://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/ and add it to your question by editing it? That would help figuring it out efficiently rather that having to guess – WhatAMesh Feb 26 '19 at 04:02
  • Alright, I thought maybe it might be a simple common issue – Trashachine Feb 26 '19 at 04:05

    Well, it is, but it is kind of weird why your background is set to a color and it basically shows a missing environment texture.. https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/5368/why-are-all-the-textures-in-my-file-pink. When uploading the .blend please make sure to include all data: File->External Data->Pack all into .blend – WhatAMesh Feb 26 '19 at 04:09
  • Why did you ask for file if you just linked to another question saying its the solution? – Trashachine Feb 26 '19 at 04:10
  • It might well be the solution, im just offering you additional help because I'm in the mood for it – WhatAMesh Feb 26 '19 at 04:12
  • Not really sorry, its talking about texture and not about the world surface – Trashachine Feb 26 '19 at 04:13
  • You can set a 360° texture as your 'world (environment)'-background. If that texture is missing, the world goes pink – WhatAMesh Feb 26 '19 at 04:15

    Pink means that whatever is supposed to be there is missing, either the link is broken, the texture file is in a different place in the drive or has been deleted, etc. It is also possible that there is something going on in the compositor, but it is hard to guess without more information. –  Feb 26 '19 at 04:17

You might have changed the directory of the background image or the image file. While rendering do not move files around.

You should try to create a new .blend file and copy/paste everything into it.

To select everything simply press A, then CTRL+C, open a new window of Blender and paste everything there.
