The colour of viburnum berries (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umber

'the colour' is the definition.
(umber is a kind of colour)

'of viburnum berries' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'UMBER' is hidden in the letters of 'viburnum berries'.

(Other definitions for umber that I've seen before include "Brown earthy substance used as pigment" , "Natural pigment" , "Earthy colour" , "Dark brown (pigment)" , "Brownish pigment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
