Hue in Malayalam
Watch out for a mismatch here: hue as a shade of colour is not covered. Both entries belong to the phrase hue and cry, where കോലാഹലം (kolaahalam) is an uproar or commotion.
Most common translation
Uproar, hue and cry, commotion.
ക്ലാസിൽ വലിയ കോലാഹലം ആയിരുന്നു.
klaasil valiya kolaahalam aayirunnu.
There was a great uproar in the class.

- ബഹളം (bahalam) — Tumult, agitation, hue and cry, uproar, trouble, abundance.
ബഹളം (bahalam) is close in meaning, a tumult or agitation, and also carries senses of trouble and abundance, so neither word says anything about colour.
