Crossword Genius

Bit of white, a little colour (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teal

'colour' is the definition.
(I know that teal is a type of green)

'bit of white a little' is the wordplay.
'bit of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TEAL' is hidden in the letters of 'white a little'.

(Other definitions for teal that I've seen before include "Dark greenish-blue colour" , "Strange tale of a duck" , "Variety of small ducks" , "Small freshwater duck and colour" , "Species of duck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
