Etymology: "Hued" is simply "hue" with the suffix "-ed" added, and the suffix here turns the noun into an adjective describing something that has a particular colour. "Hue" itself is the older and more basic word, used in English for colour or tint since Old English, and the "-ed" ending builds on it the way "-ed" builds "winged" from "wing" or "skilled" from "skill". Because the suffix can attach to a noun to mean "having" the thing named, "hued" describes objects that have a given shade, as in "rose-hued" or "crimson-hued."

Synonyms: colored, tinted, painted
