What does HUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A colour, or the quality that separates one colour from another.
Hue is the part of a colour that a name can catch — red as against orange — leaving aside how pale it is and how strong. It also survives in the fixed phrase hue and cry, which has nothing to do with sight at all: that hue is a different word, from an old term for the shout raised when a criminal was chased through a village.
