Stint mixing colours! (5)
I believe the answer is:
tints
'colours' is the definition.
(tint is a kind of colour)
'stint mixing' is the wordplay.
'mixing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stint' with letters rearranged gives 'TINTS'.
(Another definition for tints that I've seen is " Shades".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
