roseate means like the rose flower; pink; rosy.
roseate is pronounced /ˈɹoʊzi.ət/.
Why “roseate” is a great word
Having a pink or rosy color, or characterized by an excessively optimistic or favorable view. From Middle English roseat, from Anglo-Latin roseātus, from Latin roseus ("rose-colored, rosy"), from rosa ("rose"). Unlike "pink," a simple hue, or "rosy," a healthy flush or genial hopefulness, "roseate" is the formal shade of cultivated gardens and unwarranted hope. It is the improbable sky at a winter's dawn, the glow of a complexion seen by someone already half in love, the tint through which a naïf views an unforgiving world—a delicate color that often proves too thin to hold back the gray.
