Crossword Genius

Brownish colour of an ortanique (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tan

'brownish colour' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of an ortanique' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TAN' can be found hidden inside 'ortanique'.

(Other definitions for tan that I've seen before include "Get the effect of the sun." , "Process" , "Lightish brown colour" , "The colour of sunburn" , "Brownish colour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
