At home, woman needs match for particular colour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indigo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'particular colour' is the definition.
'indigo' can be an answer for 'colour' (indigo is a kind of colour). I am not sure about the 'particular' bit.

'at home woman needs match' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' (similar in meaning).
'woman' becomes 'di' (short for Diana).
'needs' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'match' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in'+'di'+'go'='INDIGO'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indigo that I've seen before include "Adulthood" , "Settlement; New Mexico native" , "supplier of blue stuff" , "Blue-violet colour" , "Deep violet-blue colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
