Brown shade (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

sepia

umber

(Other definitions for sepia that I've seen before include "Brown tone associated with old photographs" , "Brown pigment produced from cuttlefish ink" , "Sort of drawing" , "brownish colour" , "Brown of old photos" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the LA Times and the Newsday.
