Is a call about dingy drab? (8)

I believe the answer is:

isabella

(Other definitions for isabella that I've seen before include "Consort of Edward II" , "Wife of Ferdinand II of Aragon" , "Sailable Spanish queen who sponsored Columbus" , "drab colour" , "Wife of Ferdinand V" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
