Power Attlee abused where colours blended (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where colours blended' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'power attlee abused' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'abused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'attlee' is an anagram of 'alette'.
'p'+'alette'='PALETTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palette that I've seen before include "Artist's range of colours" , "Paint-mixing board" , "Artist's painting board" , "Painter's board" , "Painter's utensil" .)
