navy blue, dark red, dark green, and lavenderish color, which 1 of these arent a shade????????????????????????

Answer 1

lavenderish I'd say... the rest are all dark, so they are a shade!

Answer 2

Shade sometimes refers to a spectrum hue (red, blue, green, purple, etc.) with black added. From that respect, navy and dark would refer to shades. Lavenderish is purple and white, thus not a "shade."

Answer 3

All of these colours you describe are "shades" of a colour. Pure or primary colours are red, blue and yellow from which, by mixing equal amounts of each, you create the secondary colours orange ( red + yellow ), green ( yellow + blue ), and purple ( blue + red ). By varying the amounts of the pure colour mix, you create tertiary colours and "shades" of colour. For example if you use less yellow in with a red you will have the shade often described as "tomato red" ( an oranger red). If you use more yellow with a blue, you will get a shade of green that could be called a "lime" green.
Also, adding white or black to a colour will also create a different "shade". Add white to blue, and you will have a shade of "baby blue", or white with orange for a shade of "peach".
So the term "shade" simply means it is a pure colour which has been altered with the addition of varying amounts of other colours, or white or black to create a "shade" of the original colour. The name assigned to it is usually one that compares it to something we are familiar with that will give us an image of it in our minds eye. ( such as "chocolate" brown or "sky" blue )
There are an endless number of shades of colour you can attain . Just take a look at a paint sample fan book or the displays of paint chips you can choose from in your paint store.

Answer 4

Lavender is a 'pastel', not a shade.
Only darks and navy are correctly named 'shades'.
