Hue or substitute.

The name traditionally means vermilion (PR106); this tube uses other pigments. The name promises cadmium.

Cadmium colors are opaque, warm and strong, but cost more and are toxic if swallowed or breathed in as dust. Hues are cheaper and safer, and usually more transparent, so they cover less well.
