the context is: "It is obvious that any answer only admits a nuanced truth" - that is a relative truth, one that is valid only from a certain perspective. can I say "una verita di sfumatura" in Italian? thank you!!

sfumatura di verità
:-)
Note from asker:
| I would say that "sfumatura di verita" refers only to a part of the truth, which is quite the opposite of what I wanted to express. I wanted to refer to the entire truth, which is "nuanced". Thank you anyway |

All answers have been helpful but Linda's suits me best in this case! I wanted to award her the 4 points but somehow it seems that I've made a mistake which I don't know how to correct!
