in terms of paint, black technically does not exist (black will always be a very dark something else, usually blue). in terms of light- black is the absence of light. And since you need at least a tiny bit of light to have color, black is also the absence of color.

The opposite of black (nothingness) is white (all the colors of light in one). So if you mix white and black. you will have grey. Grey is a shade of black.

You can also reason that you can add white to any color to change its shade. white and black is grey. So grey is a shade of black.

Are there more than one shade of black?

Black technically is the complete absence of colour, however, when artists are painting pictures with dark shadows in them, we do not use black to achieve these shadows. Instead we admix the complementary colour to the base colour. This results in a very dark "black". I would suppose that there would therefore be any number of "shades" of black.
