Due to the album, Dallas won 'Best Pacific Male Artist' at the 2012 Pacific Music Awards. [3] Both the artist and the album were also nominated for 'Album of the Year', 'Best Male Solo Artist' and 'Best Urban/Hip Hop Album' at the 2011 New Zealand Music Awards, [4] 'Best Pacific Urban Artist' at 2012 Pacific Music Awards, [3] and shortlisted for the 2012 Taite Music Prize. This was considered an impressive feat for a project released as a free download.

Its lead single "Take a Picture" was nominated for 'APRA Best Pacific Song' at 2012 Pacific Music Awards [3] and for 'Best Music Video' at 2012 New Zealand Music Awards.

Release

The album was available for free download on the Internet on 5 May 2011 via DatPiff and appeared on Dallas' official website on 11 May 2011. Dallas said he wanted to give his album away for free stating: "That's ultimately what you need, you want people to hear it. You think, would you rather a thousand people heard it or would you rather sell it to one hundred?". [5] The album was downloaded more than 8,000 times within its first 24 hours, and by November 2011 it has been downloaded 50,000+ times. [6] Physical edition of the album was announced by Dallas on his website explaining the reason behind the decision:

for EVERYONE who's been asking what The Rose Tint deluxe edition is: it's a gift from me to all the people who've supported this project. At 50,000+ downloads it just felt like it was time we made something for everyone who asked for a physical product they could actually hold.

The Rose Tint: Deluxe Edition was released on 8 November 2011 in North America and 14 November 2011 in New Zealand and Australia. It contains four Fire & Ice-produced extra songs: "Feel Like Oasis", which features Kid Daytonna & Tayyib Ali, "Not Enough", which features Jordache, "10 Foot Tall" and "Couldn't Walk a Mile", replaces the track "Til Tomorrow" with a remix by M-Phazes, and also includes an instrumental disc of all the original tracks of The Rose Tint except "Til Tomorrow" (and "Ain't Coming Down", which is presented as a bonus track on the standard edition), with Dallas saying that the instrumental disc "is for the aspiring artists or anyone who just loved the beats".
