Making a comeback, getting about in the pink?

I believe the answer is:

reincarnation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'making a comeback' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'about in the pink?' is the wordplay.
'about in' becomes 'rein' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the pink?' becomes 'carnation' (carnation is a kind of pink).
'rein'+'carnation'='REINCARNATION'

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reincarnation that I've seen before include "revised version" , "Soul's rebirth in another body" , "new life" , "Rebirth in a new body" , "Rebirth (of a soul)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
