tinctured

Given a hue

Tinctured means colored, dyed, or imbued with a particular quality.

The word comes from tincture—a solution or trace amount of something.

In literal use, tinctured describes something given a slight color or tint: water tinctured with wine.

More often it appears figuratively, suggesting something influenced or flavored by an element: His optimism was tinctured with doubt.

The word has an old-fashioned, literary quality.
