Detailed Solution

The colour of the shadow is black.
According to the definition of a shadow, it is the area in which an opaque object blocks light from a light source. The formation of a shadow occurs when an object blocks a portion of the light. Shadows adopt an object's shape. Since the space blocks the light, the shadows we typically see are black in colour. Since the light source is blocked, no light can enter the specific space, making it appear dark. In reality, not all shadows are completely black. This occurs when light reflects off of obstacles like other objects. We occasionally notice coloured shadows, so not all shadows are black.
