roseate
Flushed with optimism
Roseate means rose-colored or pinkish, used especially of light, skies, or complexions: the roseate glow of sunset, roseate cheeks.
The word appears in the names of certain pink-tinged birds: the roseate spoonbill, the roseate tern.
Figuratively, roseate describes an optimistic or cheerful outlook: a roseate view of the future.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned.
