somewhat red in color
having a color that is a little red or kind of red, but not completely red
Brugsmønster:
a reddish [noun]
Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes use 'red' when 'reddish' is more accurate. Use 'reddish' when the color is only partly or softly red, not a strong or pure red. Another mistake is spelling: some write *redish* (one 'd'); the correct form is 'reddish' with two 'd's. When combining colors, remember to use a hyphen, as in 'reddish-brown door', not 'reddish brown door' in many style guides.
