Matron's shade brought out the rebel in us (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
blue rinse
'matron's shade' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'out the rebel in us' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rebel'+'in'+'us'='rebelinus'
'rebelinus' with letters rearranged gives 'BLUE-RINSE'.
'brought' acts as a link.
