rose-colored
Seeing things favorably
Rose-colored describes a pinkish hue tinged with red, like certain roses.
The figurative sense dominates: to see things through rose-colored glasses is to view them optimistically, ignoring flaws or difficulties.
A rose-colored view of the past glosses over hardships.
The term usually carries a note of naïveté or self-deception.
