tints
Faint color variations
Tints are shades or varieties of color, especially lighter variations created by adding white: The walls came in various tints of blue.
To tint is to apply a slight color to something: She tinted her hair, tinted windows.
A tint differs from a dye in being lighter or more subtle—a wash of color rather than a transformation.
