A pie's changed colour (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sepia

'colour' is the definition.
(I know that sepia is a type of pigment)

'a pie's changed' is the wordplay.
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'pies'='apies'
'apies' with letters rearranged gives 'SEPIA'.

(Other definitions for sepia that I've seen before include "Colourant" , "Shade of brown, as in old photographs" , "Rich reddish-brown colour" , "Brown tint" , "Dark reddish-brown pigment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
