Tri-X is not a color film but a B&W film. Since you are using single sheet 4x5 film and already esperimenting with it, I assume you have a darkroom or a "room dark" that allows you to load the film into the pinhole cameras. If that is the case, why not process the film yourself? It is easy, cheap and results can be had as soon as you can process the film after having exposed it. About exposure time, I'd need the distance pinhole to film (focal length of your camera) and the diameter of your pinhole itself to give you some suggestions for different light conditions.
