a shade is the mixture of a color with black, which reduces lightness.

Although black is sometimes described as an "achromatic", or hueless, color, in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint".

It's just a lack of light, when you see black there is no reflection or light being emitted.

I think you missed the point of my post.
"Black" is the colour/shade we see in the absence of reflected light.
"Nothing" is the absence of
anything.
