eg restyle, after conversion, in bluish colour (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

steel grey

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'colour' is the definition.
(I know that steel grey is a type of gray)

'eg restyle after conversion' is the wordplay.
'after conversion' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'eg'+'restyle'='egrestyle'
'egrestyle' is an anagram of 'STEEL-GREY'.

'in bluish' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for steel grey that I've seen before include "Dark purplish colour -- eg restyle (anag)" , "shade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
