Abandon colour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maroon

I believe this is a double definition.

'abandon' is the first definition.
(marooning is a kind of abandoning)

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

(Other definitions for maroon that I've seen before include "Abandon (eg, on island)" , "Could be a warning signal" , "Leave stranded - colour" , "Dark crimson" , "Isolate uncomfortably" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
