More crazy, previously got up in pink (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
rose madder
'pink' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'more crazy previously got up' is the wordplay.
'more crazy' becomes 'madder' ('mad' can be a synonym of 'crazy').
'previously' says to put letters next to each other.
'got up' becomes 'rose' (past tense of 'raise').
'madder' put after 'rose' is 'ROSE MADDER'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rose madder that I've seen before include "Pink colouring" , "got worse after going to bed angry, perhaps" , "Pale pink" .)
