Colorful coat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paint

'colorful coat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for paint that I've seen before include "Colouring matter for decoration" , "Pigment" , "Item used by 23 Across" , "Artistic medium" , "Vividly describe; cosmetic (joc.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
