Crossword Genius

Point to a pink variety of serviette (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

napkin

'serviette' is the definition.
(I know that serviette can be written as napkin)

'point to a pink variety' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (North).
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'variety' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pink' is an anagram of 'pkin'.
'n'+'a'+'pkin'='NAPKIN'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for napkin that I've seen before include "Serviette; diaper" , "Cloth rectangle worn at mealtime" , "Cloth square worn while eating" , "Diner's cloth" , "Protective cloth square donned during meals" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
