A shade quiet in Germany? Just a bit (5)
I believe the answer is:
tinge
'a shade' is the definition.
(tinge is a kind of shade)
'quiet in germany? just a bit' is the wordplay.
'a bit' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue).
'TINGE' is hidden in the letters of 'quiet in germany just'.
(Other definitions for tinge that I've seen before include "Slight but perceptible amount" , "Smattering" , "Little bit of colour" , "Touch (of colour?)" , "Hint; shade" .)
