Crossword Genius

Colour of ogre entrails, to some extent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

green

'colour' is the definition.
(greening is a kind of colouring)

'of ogre entrails to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates a hidden word.
'GREEN' is hidden within 'of ogre entrails'.

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Environment-friendly" , "Unripe; envious" , "Envious; naive" , "It's for putting on - colour - inexperienced" , "political activist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
