The norm is that some will be pink (providing that the parents are one of each) and some will be black. It's abnormal that they are mixed. It's more likely that you may be seeing the orange belly on the black convicts which is indicative of a female.

Is there any way you can post a pic?

I'm not doubting you but it's unlikely as I said before. What's more likely is that at that small size, the blacks simply haven't gotten their full color yet and appear pinkish to an extent...

This is a marbled convict... Does it appear like this?

sounds like you may have, through some twisted fate, gotten some marbled cons out of the spawn. I'd love to see pics in the future if you're ever able to.
