Plates changing colour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pastel

'colour' is the definition.
(pastel is a kind of colour)

'plates changing' is the wordplay.
'changing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'plates' anagrammed gives 'PASTEL'.

(Other definitions for pastel that I've seen before include "Outmoded" , "Soft shade; crayon" , "Chalky crayon" , "A light delicate shade of colour" , "Pleats of a light colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
