用法筆記

Reddish is very often used before another colour word (e.g. 'reddish brown', 'reddish gold') to describe a shade that is close to red. It can also describe skin tone in the context of sunburn, exertion, or embarrassment.

常見錯誤

The sky is reddish colour.
The sky is a reddish colour.
'reddish' is an adjective and needs a determiner before the noun it describes.
She painted the wall reddish red.
She painted the wall reddish orange.
'reddish' already means 'close to red', so 'reddish red' is confusing. Use 'reddish' with a different colour.
