No, it doesn't.

Nuance

: a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound.

The definition of "nuance" is a subtle difference. An example of "nuance" is the difference between light lime green and lime green.

"Subtle" in this context means,

So slight as to be difficult to detect or describe; elusive: a subtle smile.

OR

Not immediately obvious or comprehensible.
