Crossword Genius

Off colour near this joint (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knuckle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'off colour near this' is the first definition.
(near the knuckle means off colour)

'joint' is the second definition.
(knuckle is a kind of joint)

(Other definitions for knuckle that I've seen before include "Hand-joint" , "Bone of the fist" , "A finger-joint" , "Knob at finger joint" , "Finger bone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
