What does the word hue mean when it is included in the color name?
Some colors have a hue designation at the end of their name as in Cadmium Red Medium Hue. When used in this way, hue is not a color attribute but rather a replacement or alternate for a target color. The hue colors many times yield higher intensities at a lower cost for pigments that are either unavailable, expensive or fugitive (not lightfast) or pose possible health hazards.
