Bizarre pink dye / stains on interior after rain

Hi this is odd, so whilst parked in my RRS (ebony / ivory interior) I opened the window to give something to someone whilst it was raining as you can imagine some rain got inside. However i then noticed the droplets on the ivory interior were pink in colour. I then set about scrubbing as it seemed this would stain and took a while to get off. I assumed perhaps it was something from a tree that blew in but the same thing has now happened on the passenger front and back whilst simply opening the doors to get in whilst raining, there seems to be a pinkish water / dye on the interior?!! Anyone else experienced anything like this?

when it first happened on the driver side I assumed something from the nearby tree must of blown with the rain and caused it but now it's happened on the other side passenger front and rear on different occasions. Maybe as you say something from a previous wash although never had it previously on the Disco sport but that was ebony so might not have seen it. Will see if it happens again.
