Fainter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paler

'fainter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for paler that I've seen before include "rather sickly-looking" , "Less colourful" , "Less dark" , "comparatively anaemic" , "Lighter in colour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
