Hello,

I don't know if the phrase 'to see something in pink' is a real English idiom or not.We have this phrase in our language, Hungarian, but I don't know its English equivalent.Could someone help me with this?

Is it correct to say: 'Jim is really optimistic, he always sees the future in pink.'

Thank you,:lol:

He always imagines a rosy future.
To him, the future is always rosy.
 
Also 'He sees the world through rose-coloured glasses'.

through rose-colored glasses

With an unduly cheerful, optimistic, or favorable view of things: see the world through rose-colored glasses.

(The Free Dictionary)
 
I've always used "rose-tinted​ glasses" for that phrase.
 
Rose-colored is more common in AmE.
