Crossword Genius

Main colour of new gear seen (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sea-green

'main colour' is the definition.
(the main is an old name for the sea)

'new gear seen' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'gear'+'seen'='gearseen'
'gearseen' anagrammed gives 'SEA-GREEN'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for sea-green that I've seen is " Robespierre's shade".)
