Dig ten out that are slightly coloured (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinged

'are slightly coloured' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dig ten out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'dig'+'ten'='digten'
'digten' is an anagram of 'TINGED'.

'that' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tinged that I've seen before include "Slightly tinted" , "Given slight trace of colour or quality" , "Slightly coloured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
