Colour in detail on game having been given a lift (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magnolia

'colour' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Creamy colour ' mean 'magnolia' so perhaps 'colour' could also mean 'magnolia')

'in detail on game having been given a lift' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'having been given a lift' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ailongam' can be found hidden inside 'detail on game'.
'ailongam' reversed gives 'MAGNOLIA'.

(Other definitions for magnolia that I've seen before include "Tree; pale creamy-white" , "Spring-flowering shrub" , "tree blossoms" , "Flowering tree; light pinkish white" , "Creamy-white colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
