Tinge of colour (8)

I believe the answer is:

tincture

(Other definitions for tincture that I've seen before include "Alcohol solution of a drug" , "Drug dissolved in alcohol; heraldic colour" , "Colouring matter" , "Alcoholic drink (informal)" , "(In medicine) an alcoholic solution of a drug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
