Colour makes prince miserable (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

royal blue

'colour' is the definition.
(I know that royal blue is a type of blue)

'prince miserable' is the wordplay.
'prince' becomes 'royal' (prince is a type of royal).
'miserable' becomes 'blue'.
'royal'+'blue'='ROYAL BLUE'

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for royal blue that I've seen before include "A shade Conservative" , "Queen's shade?" , "Bally euro (anag.)" , "Deep rich shade of colour" , "Dark colour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
