Hai Yuki..

The English Kanji Book, Tutle Language Library I own, read, is number as 1093 in a total list (Meibo).. All U.S. Kanji Books are the same..

Kanji Tan..

Oh, I see: it's a dictionary index number. The trouble is, each dictionary has its own numbering system so you have to tell us which dictionary you're using as well as what the number is. In Kanji and Kana the kanji is number 1093, but in Remembering the Kanji it's either 2038 or 2196 (depending which edition you use), in Essential Kanji it's 1852, in Kanji Learners Dictionary it's 2147, in Morohashi it's 99, and so on: there are lots of kanji dictionaries!

マイケルさん、
どうもありがとうございます。
I see 丹.

jks_kuro san,
I think the color is called にいろ, 丹色.
I think English has various shades of the color red, for example, dark red, red, scarlet, crimson and so on.
The same as that, Japanese has various shades of the color red.
丹色 is yellowish red or red clay color.

Please refer to the web pages.
The red which many people would say “red” is this color.

and 丹色 is this below.
