The adjective red in the sentence That ballon is not exactly red is in a predicate position

An attributive adjective is an adjective in first position, before the noun

Example The big balloon

A predicative adjective is an adjective that comes in second position, after the noun. that is to say, according to the sentence , is not exactly red.

Predicative adjectives do not occur immediately after the noun, instead after the verb.
