Typical colours (8)
I believe the answer is:
standard
I believe this is a double definition.
'typical' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'colours' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for standard that I've seen before include "Flag - level of attainment" , "sort of rose" , "Basic criterion" , "Normal quality" , "Touchstone, benchmark 98)" .)
