Nobody accepts a little piece in any colour (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
non-white
'piece in any colour' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'nobody accepts a little' is the wordplay.
'nobody' becomes 'none' (not a single person).
'accepts' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a little' becomes 'whit' (I've seen this before).
'none' going around 'whit' is 'NON-WHITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
