Colourless type out on bail (6)
I believe the answer is:
albino
'colourless type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'out on bail' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram.
'on'+'bail'='onbail'
'onbail' is an anagram of 'ALBINO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for albino that I've seen before include "Animal or plant lacking pigmentation" , "Unpigmented creature" , "Person or animal lacking natural pigments" , "Person or animal with no colouring pigment" , "Animal with pigment deficiency" .)
