You use both black and white to create shades of a color. Black makes them darker while white makes them lighter. Tints are created by adding bits of color (more easily described as the primaries) to another so that they lend themselves closer to the warmer side as opposed to the cooler and/or a particular family of color. For example: say you have a bright canary yellow and you want to make it a warmer. You would "tint" it with red to achieve that affect. You also have warm grays and cool grays. You create your gray by mixing black and white together and "shades" of that gray are determined by how much of each color is in that mix. You then make a warmer gray by adding red, a cooler gray by adding blue. This is a VERY basic explaination. Also remember that black is the presense of all color (yellow being the most dominant) and white is the absense of it.

Mono-printing is a form of printing using single colour. Often the single colour is black on white paper. Shades are possible in Mono-printing. Black and white photo printing also comes under mono-printing. Colour shades are made up of fine dots called pixels. So as the pixels get denser the colour is stronger and the more spread out the pixels are the lighter the colour is seen. For example a dark shade is made up of densely placed black dots and a bright shade is made up of sparsely placed black dots on white paper.
What light color do you add to red light to get black light?
The color of light is made by adding all of the colors of parts of light, called wavelengths, together. Color is made by removing certain wavelengths of the light, and white is made by adding them all together.
