Yes: "pink eye" is the description of the whites of the eye, usually in the vernacular of a viral infection. However, pink/ red eyes can be caused by many different things: infections, inflammations, dryness, allergies, chemicals, trauma to name some. If your eyes are asymptomatic but pink, you could be tired or dry or exposed to the elements of the local environment.
