Shady type in Bray comes from Brittany (4)
I believe the answer is:
tint
'brittany' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'shady type in bray' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'comes from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tint that I've seen before include "Shade; colour slightly" , "A slight shade of colour" , "work for coiffeuse?" , "(Softer variety of) colour" , "'Shade, tone (4)'" .)
