I think most of us (and that goes all the way back to tracking - Worrying about stuff like this during the mastering phase is like deciding what to cook by how high the flames are) just strive for things to sound good.

The fact that the frequency response on a RTA (which I think you'll find few actually using) resembles 1/f pink is just a natural coincidence. We're certainly not actively trying to make a mix "look" a certain way...
