Flat finish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matte

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for matte that I've seen before include "Dull, flat" , "Mask used in film; ET mat (anag.)" , "Mask used to add an image in front of camera" , "Mask used to record two images on same film" , "Unusually dull" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
