Crossword Genius

Lost colour, with need to be changed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whitened

'lost colour' is the definition.

'with need to be changed' is the wordplay.
'to be changed' is an anagram indicator.
'with'+'need'='withneed'
'withneed' is an anagram of 'WHITENED'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
