Reeled off quote in colour (7)
I believe the answer is:
recited
'reeled off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'quote in colour' is the wordplay.
'quote' becomes 'cite' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'colour' becomes 'red' (red is a kind of colour).
'cite' inserted inside 'red' is 'RECITED'.
(Other definitions for recited that I've seen before include "read allowed" , "Repeated aloud from memory" .)
