Shades and colors are the same thing. Anything that you can see has some color, it just might be described as a shade of red because to you its not what you would define as pure red. With that being said, true black is actually NOT a color as it reflects no light and it is the absense of color. However, there is nothing besides a "black body" in space that is pure black. White is a reflection of all colors - pure white or a shade of white - that is left up to your interpretation (unless you are a chemist or physicists as they have strict definitions of these things).
