Stationery shade (5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
cream
'stationery shade' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cream that I've seen before include "Top of milk or society" , "Beat" , "The best part -of the crop" , "Elite; off-white" , "Dairy product" .)
