Cream or apricot (5)
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.)" .)
