Flamingo is a fairly new character to the DC universe. He doesn't have much of an established canonical backstory. Really, we only know a few things about him, and the writers of Gotham have stuck to them: 1) he can kill people real good, 2) he's all about eating people's faces, 3) he's fond of the color pink. But as you can see, the show didn't go nearly far enough in showing up Flamingo's love of pink. On the page, he incorporates it into his style to a far greater degree.
