Is white a color or a shade?

In color theory, a shade is technically a color that has been darkened by mixing it with black, so white is not a shade in that sense.

If you mix pure white with black, you get gray.

White is considered a color in most everyday, artistic, and design contexts. However, pure white is more technically described as an achromatic color, meaning it has no hue, or distinct color family, such as red, blue, or yellow.

Pure black and pure gray are also achromatic.
When people talk about shades of white, they’re referring to near-white or off-white colors that have subtle undertones, often yellow or gray.

To create shades of white with QuillBot’s free color wheel tool, enter the color code #FFFFFF and adjust the setting to introduce subtle hints of hue.
