The kind that turns green (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genre

'the kind' is the definition.
(genre is a kind of kind)

'turns green' is the wordplay.
'turns' indicates anagramming the letters.
'green' is an anagram of 'GENRE'.

'that' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for genre that I've seen before include "Brand" , "Category of literature" , "Category (of art)" , "Kind" , "Literary or artistic type or style" .)

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