Does your shadow have color?
No. Color is the reflection of light and shadows are areas where light does not reflect off of an object. The dark area you see is the area where light, and there for color, is not present.

Shadows are dark areas created when an object blocks light, while reflections occur when light bounces off a surface at an equal angle to the incident angle.

Sketches can visually represent these phenomena by showing the object, light source, shadow, and reflection in a simple and clear manner.
