意思
To perceive life in an overly optimistic or unrealistic way.
文化背景
In Spain, the phrase is often used with a touch of sarcasm. Spaniards tend to pride themselves on being 'realistas' (realists), so calling someone 'optimista color de rosa' can be a mild insult to their intelligence. In Mexico, you might hear 'pintar las cosas de color de rosa' more often when referring to someone trying to deceive others about a bad situation (like a government or a boss). Argentines often use this idiom in the context of 'el primer amor' (first love). It's very common in tango lyrics and literature to describe the loss of innocence. The phrase is a staple in 'telenovelas'. It's used to describe the protagonist's initial state before the 'villana' (villain) ruins everything.
Use it for 'Honeymoons'
It's the perfect phrase to describe a friend who just started dating someone new and thinks they are perfect.
Don't overdo the 'de'
Make sure you say 'color DE rosa'. Saying 'color rosa' is for crayons; 'color de rosa' is for the idiom.
