Crossword Genius

Tint held by stylist in Germany (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinge

'tint' is the definition.
(I know that tint can be written as tinge)

'held by stylist in germany' is the wordplay.
'held by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TINGE' can be found hidden inside 'stylist in germany'.

(Other definitions for tinge that I've seen before include "A smack" , "Slight amount of colour" , "Hint of colour" , "Suffuse" , "Smattering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
