hued
色合いのある
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
hue「色合い」に -ed が付いた形で、「ある色合いを帯びた」と捉えます。単独よりも dark-hued、blue-hued、many-hued のように前の語で色や性質を指定する形が典型的です。colored より文学的・描写的で、物の色そのものより微妙な色調に注意を向ける語として覚えます。
Build hued from hue, meaning a color or shade, plus the adjective-forming ending -ed: something hued has or bears a certain color. The word is most useful in compounds such as blue-hued, dark-hued, or many-hued, where the first element tells you what kind of color is present. Imagine a surface visibly tinted by that shade. Compared with colored, hued often sounds more descriptive or literary and directs attention to the particular quality or tone of the color rather than simply stating that color exists.

hued は hue「色合い」に -ed「…を帯びた」が付いた形で、hue は古英語 hiw「外見・形・色」にさかのぼります。見た目の現れがそのまま色味を指すようになった語で、「ある色を帯びた」の感覚が自然に出てきます。関連語に hue, multihued があります。
Hued is formed from the noun hue and the suffix -ed, here meaning “having” or “characterized by.” Hue comes from Old English hīw or hēow, which referred to appearance, form, or color. Over time, the color sense became dominant in English. Modern hued is especially common as the second element of compounds describing a particular shade or range of colors.
