First to move on from Cream? (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

off-white

'cream?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'first to move on from' is the wordplay.
'first to move' becomes 'white' (white moves first in chess).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'from' becomes 'off' (eg someone might be from or 'off' a TV show).
'white' put after 'off' is 'OFF-WHITE'.

(Other definitions for off-white that I've seen before include "Slightly-tinted colour" , "Very slightly yellowish or grey" , "Creamy?" , "something like cream" , "Very pale tint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
