Is Shade Card simply the name of the crossword/quiz or does it have a bearing on this clue/answer?

[boxtops]

I've assumed that the answer is a colour, because of the title....

Many thanks, I think boxtops has got it!

Yes, it must be a quiz where the answers are colours. It can't be a crossword because there's a separate section for those. I think boxtops has it with RUST
