When heard I mean two things
Take away my second letter I become a color
Take away my second and third letter I can be traveled on
Take away my first and last letter and I'm left with a twin
What am I?

1$\begingroup$ A normal color (red, blue, etc.) or a weird color? $\endgroup$– Beastly GerbilAug 13, 2016 at 10:58

4$\begingroup$ Uuugh I've just gone through every homophone removing the second letters and I didn't find a color. Then I did the same for the colours and didn't find something you could travel on. This is tricky $\endgroup$– Beastly GerbilAug 13, 2016 at 11:05

1$\begingroup$ @BeastlyGerbil Same here. The only homophones I found which fit the color requirement are the following: choral, reed, rued, whine... But they obviously don't fit any other... I used this list of homophones and this list of colors... Either I made a funny mistake in my code or I give up :P These are the longest lists I found... $\endgroup$– user14478Aug 13, 2016 at 11:24

Are you a
Reed?
When heard I mean two things
When heard, you can mean to read or you could also mean a reed
Take away my second letter I become a color
Removing the second letter leaves us with red
Take away my second and third letter I can be traveled on
Removing the second and third letters leave us with RD, which is the name of a Travel Agency
Take away my first and last letter and I'm left with a twin
Removing the first and last letters leave us with EE, which is a set of twin letters.

1$\begingroup$ Well... If this is the correct solution, I should've googled RD before giving up, lol... :D $\endgroup$– user14478Aug 13, 2016 at 15:26

1$\begingroup$ I was about to leave a hint, because I just saw the comments and saw that @LukasRotter had acctualy said the answer! Yes I am a reed! To simplify I would have also accepted that, rd. Is also short for road. $\endgroup$– Jason_Aug 13, 2016 at 15:28
