Light yellow-brown shade (4)

I believe the answer is:

ecru

(Other definitions for ecru that I've seen before include "Find a cure, strangely, in the colour" , "Greyish white" , "Greyish-yellow colour" , "Cure (anag) - unbleached linen" , "Buff colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
