Black is not a color, but rather a shade. In color theory, a shade is a pure color mixed with black. It decreases its lightness while nearly conserving its chromaticity. Strictly speaking, a "shade of black" is always a pure black itself and a "tint of black" would be a neutral gray. Unlike these, many off-black colors possess a hue and a colorfulness (also called saturation).
Attached is an image showing a few of the different shades of black.
Hope this helps! Brainliest would be much appreciated! Have a great day! :)
