Protect from the sun (5)

I believe the answer is:

shade

(Other definitions for shade that I've seen before include "Quality of colour" , "Colour; lamp cover" , "Space sheltered from the sun" , "Partial or comparative darkness" , "Area sheltered from the sun" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
