Earl ___ tea (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grey

(Other definitions for grey that I've seen before include "Tom Pearce's horse" , "Midway between white and black" , "9 colour" , "Mix of black and white" , "Colour (of fifty shades?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the USA Today and The New York Times.
