Odds only coloured like this, for example! (4)
I believe the answer is:
clue
'this for example' is the definition.
(this clue)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clue that I've seen before include "It helps towards the solution" , "Crossword hint?" , "It's here top be solved" , "Hint to help the solver" , "Intimation (like this?)" .)
