'line' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'gold but turns red' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'gold' could be 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold) and 'or' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'red' is 'der' which is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'that's' acts as a link.
