Colour that's nothing new in fashion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

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

'nothing new in fashion' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'new' becomes 'n'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fashion' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of fashion**).
'n' inserted inside 'rage' is 'range'.
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "African flower" , "stocking filler" , "Dutch royal house" , "Mandarin?" , "Colour of Northern Ireland unionism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
