Tan-coloured (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tawny

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tan' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'coloured' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for tawny that I've seen before include "Orange-brown in colour" , "Brownish-yellow" , "Yellowish-brown - kind of owl" , "port" , "Golden brown" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
