What does shade mean?

When white is added to a pure color When gray is added to a color When black is added to a pure color A color's saturation level

Correct Answer:

When black is added to a pure color

Explanation:

Shade means darkening a color by adding black. This lowers the color’s value, producing a deeper version of the hue. It’s different from tinting (adding white to lighten) and from toning (adding gray to desaturate). Saturation, or color intensity, is about how vivid the color is, not how dark it is. So adding black to a pure color correctly describes shade.
