A shade inexperienced? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

green

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a shade' is the first definition.
(I know that green is a type of chromatic color)

'inexperienced?' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Environmentally concerned" , "It's for putting on - colour - inexperienced" , "The colour of immaturity" , "Permission to proceed" , "personification of envy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Globe and Mail.
