To have rosy-colored fingers. (rose colored fingers)
'Rosy-fingered' was used as a title for Dawn in Homer's famous 16th century poem, The Odyssey. He always used this phrase to describe Dawn, and the way she would cast light upon the world. The rays of light from each sunrise looked similar to fingers of pink and red.
