Write about match for colour of beautiful boat couple used (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
pea green
'colour of beautiful boat couple used' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'write about match' is the wordplay.
'write' becomes 'pen' (synonyms).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'match' becomes 'agree' (as in two tallies agreeing or matching).
'pen' placed around 'agree' is 'PEA-GREEN'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pea green that I've seen before include "Bright colour with a yellow tinge - eager pen (anag)" , "Colour of Owl and Pussycat's boat (Lear)" , "Bright colour (of vegetables)" , "beautiful colour for a boat" , "colour of Lear's boat" .)
