Crossword Genius

Colour of zero scope (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

'colour' is the definition.
(orange is a kind of colour)

'zero scope' is the wordplay.
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'scope' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Dutch royal house" , "Royal house - fruit - colour" , "Loyalist colour" , "Kind of sauce" , "divided internally, naturally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
