Just a minor change:

{xunre} x1 is red [color adjective] in color system x2 [default
approximatively RGB
#FF0000/ CMYK (0, 100, 100, 0)].

I don't think anyone is going to talk about exact colors, but even if
you're talking more approximative, you could still use the exact color
value as a reference.
and if you really mean the exact color value you can maybe say
something like: {satci xunre}  ?
