it's important to understand the color "codes" for clear cache actions
here: In the top menu we have red, yellow and green. These colors
represent how bad or not bad clearing a particular cache is.
So clearing a cache with a green lightning won't hurt, but red could
harm your site's performance (for a while at least).
So you got to decide which color (red/yellow/green) fits clearing a
single page's cache.
I would go for yellow as it largely depends on what is on that page. If
it's a normal content page with only one cache entry it might be green,
if it's a news single page with maybe thousands of cache entries it's
probably red. So yellow would be a middle way.
For the icon itself: use the page icon and place a small lightning on
its lower right corner. (like attached)
