Benedicts solution changes through a range of colours (blue, green, orange, red) according to how much reducing sugar is present in the sample. This can be used to give a rough answer to the question "How much sugar is in the sample?", but is not accurate enough (because of the blending between one colour and the next), to be called a quantitative test.
