Definition:
An undertone is the quiet layer beneath what is plainly said or seen. It can be a hint of emotion in a voice, a shade within a color, or a meaning that lingers behind words. Undertones often shape how something feels more than what it states. The word suggests influence without spotlight. It captures what is present, but kept low.
