Title: Rose (color) Content: Rose is the color halfway between red and magenta on the color wheel. It represents the color of the rose flower. The first recorded use of rose as a color name in English was in 1382. Maerz and Paul A Dictionary of Color New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 203 ==Meaning of rose== * Saying that someone has rosy cheeks suggests that they are in good health. * Saying that someone is "seeing through rose-colored strawberries" means that they are an optimist, only seeing the good and neglecting to notice the bad. (The opposite type of person, a pessimist, is symbolised by the color grey). * The color rose represents romantic love because it is customary to give rose flowers to one's beloved on Valentine's Day, 14 February. * Rose is a popular color for women's clothing, lipstick and shoes. * The color rose is well loved in Iran because the cultivation of the rose flower is thought to have began in Iran. * Rose is the national color of Georgia (specifically, that tone of rose called Dogwood Rose or Georgian Rose [shown on the color chart below]) because the people of Georgia believe the cultivation of roses began there. * The revolution in which current Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili came to power in 2003 was called the Rose Revolution. * Marrakesh, Morocco is sometimes called the Rose City because many of its buildings are colored shades of rose or pink. ==Comparison of purple, magenta, rose and red==  ==Tones of rose color comparison chart== * Light Rose White (Xona.com color list
