Cream or apricot (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

color

I believe this is a double definition.

'cream' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'apricot' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for color that I've seen before include "Hue (US spelling)" , "brightness in US" , "Californian red?" , "Shade, tint (US sp.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
