Yes... and No ...A shadow is caused by an object blocking light so that it doesn't reach a surface. The area in shadow appears black because there is no light falling on it -- it appears dark.

In fact, most shadows aren't totally black, because light usually bounces around the obstruction off other objects (indirect lighting). You can also get coloured shadows where there are multiple light sources of different colours. e.g. in a nightclub or disco. Translucent objects may cast coloured shadows, e.g. stained glass in a church, where only some of the light has been blocked by the window.
