A pie's brownish colour? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sepia

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

'brownish colour?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a pie's' is the wordplay.
'a pie's' can be anagrammed to 'SEPIA'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sepia that I've seen before include "Dark reddish-brown pigment" , "Brown tone associated with old photographs" , "Rich reddish-brown colour" , "Old drawing" , "Reddish brown -- ie sap (anag)" .)
