"If it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life . . ." orator (5)

I believe the answer is:

brown

(Other definitions for brown that I've seen before include "Shade" , "Rugby hero" , "Labour PM, b. 1951" , "Dark - tanned - successor to Blair?" , "cook to a rich colour?" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
