The concept of nuance has several uses. The first meaning recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary refers to a feature that is not too noticeable but that gives a certain character to something.
The notion is usually used to mention the variations or degrees that an element can exhibit. For example: “Since the man from Córdoba was named president, the organization has a different nuance,” “A defeat always generates discomfort, although there are nuances that can make it less painful,” “The manager informed us that we will maintain the commercial strategy of the last months, but with a nuance regarding the pricing policy.”
