Crossword Genius

Further to the right, further down (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bluer

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

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

'further to the right' is the wordplay.
'further' becomes 'blue' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to the right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'blue'+'r'='BLUER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bluer that I've seen before include "more despondent" , "getting more down" , "more depressed" , "More conservative" , "Less cloudy (sky)" .)
