Turn deep pink with embarrassment (6)

I believe the answer is:

redden

(Other definitions for redden that I've seen before include "Reveal embarrassment in colourful way" , "Blush like the dawn sky" , "Blush, colour accordingly" , "Group of states under one head" , "Evaluate the nature of (something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
