In similes, like a judge rather than a lord (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sober

(Other definitions for sober that I've seen before include "Not intoxicated" , "Snot drunk" , "In control of one's faculties" , "Sedate and rational" , "Dignified -- lacking colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
