I've tried different background colored papers, using filters.
So what works when scanning pink backs?

If you are asking about the WF pink backs here are a couple of regular scans of US Scott 425 blocks - one regular and one with the pink back against a white background and a black background.
Just normal scans - if that isn't what you were referring to I don't have a clue.

Scanning is scanning. The scanner does what you tell it to do. If the colours don’t look right to you, there are many programs which allow you to tweak scanned images to your heart’s content.
I’m curious — why are you concerned about such accurate scans of the backs of stamps? Buyers are mainly concerned about gum, whether it’s original and undamaged; precise colour, which is not possible to achieve with any scanner, is the least of a buyer’s concerns.

If your colors are off it could be your monitor is not calibrated. It is quite common. It is less likely your scanner unless the settings have been changed. I have 3 monitors for my computer setup and each is a little bit different. Settings like brightness can affect color too.
If you use windows it has a built-in monitor calibration utility to set gamma and color.

Thanks to everyone who responded!
The question sort of changed along thge way. I was only interested in scanning pink backs!
To the responder who was "curious why are you concerned . . . . backs of stamps" I was not, and never indicated that!
