Not in the pink - blue (3-6)
I believe the answer is:
off-colour
'blue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for off-colour that I've seen before include "Not in the pink?" , "Unwell or indelicate - a bit pale?" , "Unwell, lacking pigment?" , "Not well - looking pale" , "Rather poorly" .)
