Blonde shade (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

'blonde shade' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "Hardwood" , "What's left after burning" , "Knotty - - (Ken Dodd)" , "Grey-barked tree" , "Burnt material; tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
