This could be a double definition.

'superior' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'water colour' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lake that I've seen before include "Superior's one" , "Excess of wine?" , "Water surrounded by land" , "Pool" , "Superior, e.g." .)

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