In one sense, black is the absence of light and white is the presence of light, and neither is a color or a shade. In the realm, of optics, white is a mix of all colors (of the spectrum) and black is the absence of all light

When dealing with pigments, such as in paint, black and white are definitely colors.

Shade are when you have different values or intensities of the basic color. You cannot have a shade of black, nor really of white. If you mix the two, you get grey, and you can have shades of grey.
