n. Red sunset, looked upon as a sign that rain will clear. Lit., red shadow.
The akaʻula color-way consist of the color when the sun begins to dip below the horizon, the sky transforms into a breathtaking canvas of deep reds and vibrant oranges. The clouds, tinged with the warm hues, appear to glow as if set aflame, casting a golden light over everything they touch. The colors bleed into one another, with rich reds deepening toward the edges of the sky, while the oranges melt into softer pinks near the horizon. The fading light creates long shadows and makes everything appear bathed in a soft, amber glow, evoking a sense of calm and quiet beauty as the day slips into night.
