Shades are colors that have black added to them, tints are colors that have white added to them. Look at this hummingbird. The way how the green on the body and wings merges into the white breast feathers. Lovely. that light green is a tint of the green above its eyes. Look at the red under the beak. It has some parts with black added = shades of red.
When you think about it, light really affects thee way we see colors. Even in our natural every day world, its surprising we don't get a brain overload with all that's going on. I took some examples of the art building at uni. See how the color of the bricks are darker in the shade. That's because it has black added to it. Look at the top of the camera, it has a highlight, this is more white because of the sky's light. In fact, the sun is quite important in how we see color...actually, i'll talk about this later lol
