Cloak our resident Druid originally ordered in black? (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dark colour

'black?' is the definition.
(black is an example)

'cloak our resident druid originally ordered' is the wordplay.
'originally' indicates taking the first letters.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
The initial letters of 'resident druid' is 'rd'.
'cloak'+'our'+'rd'='cloakourrd'
'cloakourrd' is an anagram of 'DARK COLOUR'.

'in' acts as a link.
