Why is my string of hearts not pink?

A bit, because it needs more light to hold its colour and less chlorophyll means slower growth. In low light the pink fades to cream or green, new leaves come in greener and the vines go leggy with big gaps. Your east window with some morning sun would suit one well.

If you do get a variegated one, introduce brighter light gradually rather than moving it straight into direct sun, which scorches them. And expect the pink to live on new growth: older leaves fade, which is normal rather than a care failure.

In the dark months a grow light does more for the colour than anything else you can change.
