Crossword Genius

She's in the pink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coral

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'she's' is the first definition.

'pink' is the second definition.
(coral is a shade of pink)

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for coral that I've seen before include "Marine growth" , "Carol (anag.)" , "Reef material" , "Deep pink 11 across" , "hard material" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
