Neutral hue (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ecru

gray

'neutral hue' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gray that I've seen before include "(Churchyard) Elegy poet" , "a bit gloomy for the Americans" , "An Anatomist; an Elegist" , "dull for Americans" , "Author of ballad opera" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times and the Penny Press.
