bluish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a bit raunchy?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i show embarrassment outwardly' is the wordplay.
'show embarrassment' becomes 'blush' (I've seen this in another clue).
'outwardly' is an insertion indicator (some letters go on the outside).
'i' inserted inside 'blush' is 'BLUISH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bluish that I've seen before include "colourful" , "shade" .)
