rubicund
Flushed with color
Rubicund means having a red or ruddy complexion, typically suggesting robust health or the flush of drink: his rubicund cheeks, a rubicund face above the white beard.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing more often in Victorian novels than contemporary speech.
