When black is added to a color, it creates a shade of that color. For example, adding black to red creates maroon, adding black to blue creates navy, and so on. The black color absorbs light and darkens the original color, giving it a deeper and richer appearance.

Is black and white a shade or a colour?

Technically they could be considered as both and neither, depending on how you look at them. Black and white can be viewed as a shade as naturally adding them to a colour will either increase or decrease its tone. This however will reduce the colours intensity or richness, and adding the opposite colour will not return it back to its original colour. So adding white to red will make it pink, but adding black to it will not return it back to the original tone of red, simply a darker version of pink. They could also be viewed as a colour as, in terms of physical colour, if all colours in the world are put together, the result will be black. Equally, in terms of light colour, putting all colours together will create white. So as all colours together create either black or white, they could be viewed as colours themselves.
