Brown booth stripped down (3)
I believe the answer is:
tan
'brown' is the definition.
(tan is a kind of brown)
'booth stripped down' is the wordplay.
'booth' becomes 'stand'.
'stripped down' indicates the central letters.
The centre of 'stand' is 'TAN'.
(Other definitions for tan that I've seen before include "Go brown" , "Make black and blue" , "Yellowish brown" , "Yellowish-brown colour" , "Reddish-brown" .)
