No - the white ones don't change with the pH. They will often have oink tinges as they mature and fade with autumn. Is it meant to be a pink variety? If so, I'd guess that's been incorrectly labelled.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Some hydrangeas start out white and over the course of a few weeks turn pink. I have Vanille Fraise which does that - it's a different type of hydrangea, but yours may do the same. Mine is just starting to turn from white to pink-

That's what I was meaning @Pete.8, but this variety seems to be pink in colour to start with. I would contact them @Janie B - they're a very good company
I wonder if it becomes pinker with age - and by that I mean that a more mature plant will produce pinker flowers. It looks quite young, so perhaps that's a possibility? Also - if it's in a shadier spot, it may be a bit pinker with a little more sun? Worth checking with them though.

That looks lovely @Pete.8 . I have had mine for a couple of years, and they never turn any pinker. I'll take photos over the next couple of weeks to see if they change, but somehow I doubt they will...
Thanks @Janie B I think you'll need to speak with the supplier to find out. Maybe as @Silver surfer and @Fairygirl say, you've been sent the wrong variety
