Is pea changing colour? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sepia

'colour?' is the definition.
(sepia is a kind of colour)

'is pea changing' is the wordplay.
'changing' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'pea'='ispea'
'ispea' with letters rearranged gives 'SEPIA'.

(Other definitions for sepia that I've seen before include "brownish colour" , "Reddish brown -- ie sap (anag)" , "Denizen of deep" , "Reddish-brown colour - easy as pie" , "Brown with a red tinge" .)
