Pale yellow-gray color (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ecru

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pale yellow' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'gray color' is the second definition.
(I know that ecru is a type of gray color)

(Other definitions for ecru that I've seen before include "light beige" , "Find a cure, strangely, in the colour" , "Natural stuff" , "Bleached linen colour" , "Pale, creamy brown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
