Pale brown/yellow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ochre

(Other definitions for ochre that I've seen before include "Yellow-red earthy pigment" , "Yellowish-brown or red pigment" , "yellowy-orange" , "Yellow-red mineral from iron oxide used as pigment" , "Gold coins, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
