Cream drunk with coffee’s filling (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

off-white

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

'drunk with coffee's filling' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'filling' says to take the centre (the letters which fill the word).
The middle of 'coffee' is 'offe'.
'with'+'offe'='withoffe'
'withoffe' anagrammed gives 'OFF-WHITE'.

(Other definitions for off-white that I've seen before include "Slightly-tinted colour" , "Creamy?" , "something like cream" , "Colour such as cream or bone" , "Very slightly yellowish or grey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
