rosy
Blushing with optimism
Rosy means having a pink or reddish color, like roses or healthy cheeks: rosy cheeks from the cold.
Extended to outlook and prospects, rosy means optimistic or promising: a rosy future, rosy predictions.
Someone who sees things through rose-colored glasses has an unrealistically positive view.
The opposite appears in phrases like not so rosy or less than rosy.
