Context examples
But it was different out upon the rose-tinted waters of the central lake.
(The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
Just as the sun was setting upon that melancholy night I saw the lonely figure of the Indian upon the vast plain beneath me, and I watched him, our one faint hope of salvation, until he disappeared in the rising mists of evening which lay, rose-tinted from the setting sun, between the far-off river and me.
(The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
