Tint means a shade, hue, or slight coloration added to something, or a thin film or color that alters light transmission and appearance. In everyday usage, tint has several related meanings. As a noun, a tint is a light or pale version of a color, often made by mixing a color with white, or a slight trace of color. For example, a tint of blue means a light bluish color. In hair coloring, a tint refers to a semi-permanent or permanent dye that changes hair color slightly. In window film, tint refers to a thin polyester or ceramic film applied to glass to reduce visible light transmission, block UV rays, reduce heat, and provide privacy, measured by VLT percentage. As a verb, to tint means to color slightly, to dye, or to add a shade to something, such as to tint windows, to tint eyebrows, or to tint a photo. In art, tint is the opposite of shade, where tint is color plus white making it lighter, while shade is color plus black making it darker. In automotive contexts, tint also implies privacy and heat rejection. So tint generally means a light coloring or a film that changes color, brightness, or transparency of a surface.
