A shade naive (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

green

This clue is a double definition.

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

'naive' is the second definition.
(I know that naive can be written as green)

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Ecologically sound" , "Murderer" , "Environment-friendly" , "Grassy enclosure, in a village say" , "like 29 [MARTIAN] , stereotypically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
