Beige (4)
I believe the answer is:
ecru
'beige' is the definition.
(I know that beige can be written as ecru)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ecru that I've seen before include "Pale, creamy brown" , "one of the colours" , "Colour of unbleached linen" , "Strange cure for a colour" , "Bleached linen colour" .)
