rose-hued

Soft pink shade

Rose-hued describes something tinged with the soft pink color of roses.

Like its near-synonym rosy, it appears most often in literary or poetic contexts to characterize light, skin, or atmospheric conditions: the rose-hued glow of sunset.

The term can also suggest an optimistically colored perspective, though rosy is more common in that figurative sense.
