Browny-grey coloured throne (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dunny

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'throne' is the definition.
(I know that dunny is a type of throne)

'browny-grey coloured' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'coloured' could be 'dun' (similar in meaning) and 'dun' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ny' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
