'line taken with arrangement of map tinge regarding colours' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'line taken with arrangement of map tinge' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'taken with' says to put letters next to each other.
'arrangement of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'map'+'tinge'='maptinge'
'maptinge' is an anagram of 'pigmenta'.
'l' after 'pigmenta' is 'PIGMENTAL'.
