Western writer Zane (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grey

'western writer zane' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for grey that I've seen before include "signs of age?" , "Unclear (area); dull (weather)" , "Earl --, tea" , "White horse" , "Ashen" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily and The Washington Post.
