grainy

'indistinct?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'warhol's colour frames in photos' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'colour' could be 'gray' (gray is a kind of colour) and 'gray' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'so' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grainy that I've seen before include "Old still can be this" , "(Of photo) having low resolution" , "not clear" , "Granular" , "Gritty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
