Smattering (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinge

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">smattering</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for tinge that I've seen before include "Slight but perceptible amount" , "Small quantity of (differing) colour" , "Slight colouring" , "A colourful" , "Slight amount of colour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Guardian.
