Is she a shade purple? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

violet

I believe this is a triple definition!

'is she' is the first definition.

'a shade' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'purple?' is the third definition.
(I know that violet is a type of purple)

(Other definitions for violet that I've seen before include "Bloomer" , "Herbaceous flower" , "Five-petalled flower" , "Purplish colour" , "plant" .)
