oatmeal

'greyish yellow colour' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'moving me a lot a' is the wordplay.
'moving' is an anagram indicator (letters are moved around).
'me'+'a'+'lot'+'a'='mealota'
'mealota' anagrammed gives 'OATMEAL'.

(Other definitions for oatmeal that I've seen before include "It's boiled for porridge" , "Porridge constituent" , "Basis of porridge" , "Powdery substance eaten" , "Eat loam (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
