Comments on the clue
1.I like the surface, but 'unevenly' and 'fake' don’t work cryptically
2.At first I wondered whether the definition was strict enough, but I suppose I'd accept "colour" for RED, so I'm happy.
3.In the wordplay, 'fake' doesn't seem to convey the necessary rearrangement of 'tan'.
