Colourful Dutch royal house (6)
I believe the answer is:
orange
'dutch royal house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Stocking-filler fruit" , "Belisha beacon colour" , "Go earn the fruit" , "Loyalist colour" , "Mandarin?" .)
