Sort of Red Sea green (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reseda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'green' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'sort of red sea' is the wordplay.
'sort of' is an anagram indicator.
'red'+'sea'='redsea'
'redsea' is an anagram of 'RESEDA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reseda that I've seen is " Rocket".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
