Lime Recommendation

Question

I want to know about lime I took from the soil to the laboratory and the result:

P required and required K (colored red) are the amounts of P and K required to raise the soil test to the target value. Lime required (colored red) is the amount of lime needed to decrease the soil acid saturation to the permissible acid saturation.

My problem is I do no know what they mean about colored red. Do they mean the color of a lime is red?

I am not clear in the specifics of your soil test results.
I'm listing some links that will help you read and interpret your soil test.
