A woman of colour (8)

I believe the answer is:

brunette

'a woman of colour' is the definition.
(woman with brunette hair)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for brunette that I've seen before include "Woman with dark hair" , "She's certainly not a blonde" , "Dark-haired woman" , "Dark lady" , "Not being fair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
