Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think "rosy" always describes color. In phrases like "rosy future" or "rosy picture", it means "very good and hopeful", not that the future or picture is pink. Also, a "rosy" view can be too positive, which is not clear from the word "optimistic" alone.
Significado
overly hopeful or optimistic
