Painter in red? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

titian

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'painter' is the first definition.
(I know that Titian is a old master)

'red?' is the second definition.
(I know that titian is a type of red)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for titian that I've seen before include "Italian painter; hair colour" , "It. painter, famous for redheads" , "Italian painter of the Venetian school, patronised by Philip II of Spain" , "painting" , "Sixteenth cenntury Italian painter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
