Shaded house I'd regularly overlooked (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hued

'shaded' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'house i'd regularly overlooked' is the wordplay.
'regularly overlooked' means one should take alternating letters (letters removed at regular intervals).
'house'+'id'='houseid'
The alternating letters of 'houseid' are 'HUED'.

(Other definitions for hued that I've seen before include "Coloured" , "Having a colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
