Colour seen in loch recently (5)
I believe the answer is:
ochre
'colour' is the definition.
(I know that ochre is a colour)
'in loch recently' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'OCHRE' is hidden in the letters of 'loch recently'.
'seen' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ochre that I've seen before include "Pale brownish-yellow colour or pigment" , "Mineral pigment; chore (anag.)" , "Orange" , "An orangey pigment" , "Red or yellow pigment" .)
