agree  Thais Castanheira: usamos "cor-de-rosa" quando as coisas são boas, como "seu mundo é cor-de-rosa", então sua sugestão faz todo o sentido! :)
11 hrs
  -> Precisamente, Thais! Obrigado! :)
agree  felidaevampire: Poliana, menina que só via o lado bom das coisas - complexo de Poliana: ver só o lado bom de tudo. Porém "rose-tinted" é ver as coisas de forma amenizada, um pouco diferente da Poliana (por isso pensei em "açucarada"). Ideia louca, mas legal, né? :)
17 hrs
  -> Poliana? Essa vai ter de me explicar o que significa! Obrigado, felidaevampire! Já percebi: pelos vistos trata-se de algo que afecta a generalidade dos políticos no poder, e que os impede de ver a realidade...
