What is the meaning of the color Rosewater?
Named after the fragrant water distilled from rose petals, rosewater has been produced and traded across the Middle East and South Asia since at least the 9th century, with Persian records documenting its use in food and cosmetics. The color entered Western design vocabulary through the popularity of blush and petal tones in 18th-century European textile dyeing, where soft rose shades were fashionable in silk and muslin. By the 20th century, the name was adopted in paint and cosmetics industries to describe gentle, skin-adjacent pinks. Pantone formalized the appeal of this tone when it named Rose Quartz, a closely related blush pink, one of its Colors of the Year for 2016.
