What color is Rose Gold?
Rose gold is a soft, warm pink with a gentle metallic blush, hex #DEA193, similar in tone to the inside of a peach. The color has a dusty, muted quality rather than a bright or saturated pink.
What is the meaning of the color Rose Gold?
The color rose gold originated as a metallic alloy — a blend of gold and copper — used in Russian jewelry in the early 19th century, where it was known as Russian gold. Cartier popularized it in 1924 with the Trinity ring, a three-band design that brought the warm pink-gold tone to international attention. Apple’s introduction of a rose gold iPhone in 2015 relaunched the color as a dominant trend in consumer products and design.
