Shade recalling some Paisley design (3)
I believe the answer is:
dye
'shade' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'recalling some paisley design' is the wordplay.
'recalling' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'eyd' is hidden within 'paisley design'.
'eyd' back-to-front is 'DYE'.
(Other definitions for dye that I've seen before include "Liquid used to change colour of clothes" , "Colouring matter" , "Colouring agent" , "Colour (fabrics)" , "Colourant" .)
