Dye from Asian country detailed work (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indigo

'dye' is the definition.
(indigo is a kind of dye)

'asian country detailed work' is the wordplay.
'asian country' becomes 'india' (India is an example).
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the word must be end-less or 'de-tailed').
'work' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'india' with its final letter taken away is 'indi'.
'indi'+'go'='INDIGO'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for indigo that I've seen before include "Violet-blue dye" , "Colour - I'd go in (anag)" , "Violet dye" , "Deep violet-blue colour" , "Blue-purple colour in spectrum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
