Shaded red ridges
Hi
Here, in this extract what's the structure of 'shaded red ridges' ? Is it 'red ridges' which are shaded? Or it is 'ridges' which are 'shaded red'? And is there any difference between 'shaded red' and red shaded' ?
...
“While a man and woman moved into the light, Rayber had a clear vision of plowed ground, of the shaded red ridges that separated him from the lean figure approaching.”
