Rose (color)
Rose is the color halfway between red and magenta on the HSV color wheel, also known as the RGB color wheel, on which it is at hue angle of 330 degrees. Rose is one of the tertiary colors on the HSV (RGB) color wheel. The complementary color of rose is spring green. Sometimes rose is quoted instead as the web-safe color FF00CC, which is closer to magenta than to red, corresponding to a hue angle near 320 degrees, or the web-safe color FF0077, which is closer to red than magenta, corresponding to a hue angle of about 340 degrees. Shades of rose Etymology of rose The first recorded use of ''rose'' as a color name in English was in 1382.Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 203 The etymology of the color name rose is the same as that of the name of the rose flower. The name originates from Latin ''rosa'', borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: ''rhodon'' (Aeolic form: ''wrodon''), from Aramaic ''wurrdā'', from Ass ...

Roseate Cockatoo
The galah (; ''Eolophus roseicapilla''), also known as the pink and grey cockatoo or rose-breasted cockatoo, is the only species within genus ''Eolophus'' of the cockatoo family. Found throughout Australia, it is among the most common of the cockatoos. With its distinctive pink and grey plumage and its bold and loud behaviour, it is a familiar sight in the wild and increasingly in urban areas. It has benefited from the change in the landscape since European colonisation, and appears to be replacing the Major Mitchell's cockatoo in parts of its range. Etymology The term galah is derived from ''gilaa'', a word from the Yuwaalaraay and neighbouring Aboriginal languages spoken in north-western New South Wales. Description The galah is about in length, and weighs . It has a pale silver to grey back, a pale grey rump, a pink face and breast, and a light pink mobile crest. It has a bone-coloured beak, and the bare skin of the eye ring is carunculated. It has grey legs. The sexes ...

Roseate Frog
''Anstisia rosea'', the karri or roseate frog is a species in the family, Myobatrachidae. It is endemic to Southwest Australia. Taxonomy It was formerly classified in the genus ''Geocrinia'', but was reclassified into the new genus ''Anstisia'' in 2022. The ''Geocrinia'' roseate frogs were previously placed in the genus '' Crinia'' by Harrison. It is most easily distinguished from the 5 congeners of the region (3 ''Anstisia'' and 1 ''Geocrinia'' species) by the rosy glow of the belly, as indicated in the name. Description ''Anstisia rosea'' is very similar in appearance to three other ''Anstisia'' species; '' A. alba'', '' A. lutea'' and '' A. vitellina''. The usually discrete vomerine teeth of the species are evident in this species. Its colouring, largely brown, perhaps mottled, reveals another distinction between the species. The smooth skin of the creature, slightly tubercular on the upper parts, is a rosy pink below. This may also be flecked or mottled. The male has a ...

Roseate Spoonbill
The roseate spoonbill (''Platalea ajaja'') is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in both South and North America. Taxonomy The roseate spoonbill is sometimes placed in its own genus - ''Ajaia''. A 2010 study of mitochondrial DNA of the spoonbills by Chesser and colleagues found that the roseate and yellow-billed spoonbills were each other's closest relatives, and the two were descended from an early offshoot from the ancestors of the other four spoonbill species. They felt the genetic evidence meant it was equally valid to consider all six to be classified within the genus ''Platalea'' or alternatively the two placed in the monotypic genera ''Platibis'' and ''Ajaia'', respectively. However, as the six species were so similar morphologically, keeping them within the one genus made more sense. Description The roseate spoonbill is long, with a wingspan and a body mass of . The tarsus measures , the culmen mea ...
