Hue makes church ascend (6)
I believe the answer is:
cerise
'hue' is the definition.
(cerise is a kind of colour)
'church ascend' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'ascend' becomes 'rise' (rising is a kind of ascending).
'ce'+'rise'='CERISE'
'makes' is the link.
(Other definitions for cerise that I've seen before include "Light clear red" , "Bright cherry-red colour" , "'E cries at the colour red" , "Vivid reddish-pink" , "EEC, sir, is red" .)
