Stained; dark (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inky

This clue is a double definition.

'stained' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'dark' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for inky that I've seen before include "Like the printing trade" , "Leaked on by pen" , "Jet" , "Black; drunk (Aus. sl.)" , "Like writing fluid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
