Gave colour to a name (5)
I believe the answer is:
toned
'gave colour' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'to a name' is the wordplay.
'a name' becomes 'ned' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to'+'ned'='TONED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toned that I've seen before include "In good condition (of muscles or skin)" , "Well-muscled" , "Noted (anag.)" , "went well" , "Slightly tinted; firm-muscled" .)
