Character, aspect (3)
I believe the answer is:
hue
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'character' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'aspect' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for hue that I've seen before include "Shade, aspect; Vietnam port" , "red or black, say" , "Delicate shade" , "complexion" , "Tint, shade" .)
