red tinted

[payal desai]

This cream is red tinted.

Is it also correct to say- "It is tinted red"?


Thanks

Yes. I would hyphenate 'red-tinted.'

It's the form I would use in most contexts.

 

[payal desai]

In what context can we use?

In what context can we use what? You suggested "The cream is red-tinted" and Raymott told you that was correct. He added that "The cream is tinted red" is also possible.

I imagine the context is something like a person with a thick application of lipstick kissing a bowl of cream, stirring the cream and commenting on the result.

Or you could be whipping cream for a trifle and a few drops of your blood from a nose-bleed fall into the bowl.

Remind me not to come to your house for dessert! ;-)

If you're squeamish I'll put cochineal in your portion if you'd rather, ems.

Ewwww! I'll take the human blood over that, thanks.

I assumed it referred to some kind of fancy dessert.

It was what I asked back to tdol over her post.

I don't know what that means. Why did you say "her post"?
