Nice guy Eddie a psychic?

Something that has always bothered me. On the way to the warehouse they discuss the difference between white/black women. Pink claims that black women are less tolerant, to which Eddie replies ''I gotta go along with Pink on that one.'' If they are on their way to the warehouse, where they'll be given their color coded aliases, how could Pink already be ''Mr. Pink''. I turned on the subtitles just to make sure and indeed Eddie does say ''Pink''. How could anybody miss such a glaringly obvious error? Or am I missing something?

Script error, unless they are leaving the warehouse rather than going to it.

Except Eddie picks up Orange from his apartment to go to, we presume, the warehouse.

I don't think it's an error at all. It's entirely likely that Eddie and Joe sat down and worked out the aliases for each robber BEFORE they had the meeting, which makes perfect sense because they were organising a robbery and wanted it to go smooth and as professional as possible. But Eddie must have made sure for them to be very careful not to reveal their true identities in the car on the way, so I reckon he must have said something off screen.

But as far as Pink not making a big deal out of it in the car when Eddie calls him it, who knows? There's never really an explanation but I don't feel there needs to be anyway. Maybe Buscemi's character decided to wait until he was fronted with Joe to ask questions.
