Colours of average quality (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

standard

This clue is a triple definition!

'colours' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of' is a link.

'average' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'quality' is the third definition.
(standard is a kind of quality)

(Other definitions for standard that I've seen before include "Flag - of the usual kind" , "Normal, average" , "Guide-line" , "Ceremonial flag" , "Degree of quality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
