Like much cotton candy (4)

I believe the answer is:

pink

(Other definitions for pink that I've seen before include "Colour; pop singer" , "Cut wavy edge on, plant" , "Rather embarrassed" , "Miscoloured beast supposedly seen in delirium" , "one's found in bed" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
