Was thinking of words for lord in other languages - but I wonder if "foreign" could mean "mix up" the word lord and if it could begin Dorl (like Dor Lomin).

On the other hand what, apart from "lord," could be the straight clue, I ask myself.

I wonder if "in unique specimen" means take the letters "que" that do end some names like Alcarinque (although that's the name of a star, I think).

Colour - could be shade or hue or an actual colour, or blush, or influence, but none of them seem to fit.

The only even near synonym for swallowing I can think of is gulping! (or engulfing). Unless "cloth" gets swallowed by the other letters in the clue.

Tried "foreign" words for colour, but can't think of a lord with the letters "Farbe" in his name.
