Shade is the blocking of sunlight (in particular direct sunshine) by any object, and also the shadow created by that object. Shade also consists of the colors grey, black,white, etc. It may refer to blocking of sunlight by a roof, a tree, an umbrella, a window shade or blind, curtains, or other objects.

Shade is an important issue in temperate and tropical zones for providing cooling and shelter from the sun.

Sports

Shade offers relief to golfers and sportsmen of many types. Careful consideration must be taken when removing trees near tees and other clog points on a golf course routing. It has been shown that the shade from a natural tree can be several degrees cooler than that provided by artificial structures or umbrellas.

Solar

Providing certain configurations of shading is an important passive solar technique. This may be done with overhangs, with shade trees, or with vines. Vines particularly suited for this purpose include Boston ivy, Virginia creeper, and morning glory.

By integrating Power Plastic into fabrics are created shades that generate electricity.

How to decide on which shade of beige to paint a room?
Q. I will be repainting my room and have decided on beige since it is a nutral color that goes with everything. However, there are hundreds, if not thousands shades of beige out there, so I don't know which to choose. I tried a few sample paints which looked good in the store but lost their appeal and did not look right when I tried it on my wall. What are some ways of narrowing down the choices and ultimately picking the right shade of beige? Are there any websites showing different beige shades, etc?

A. sorry to hear you had some color blunders. to avoid purchasing the wrong beige, it's a good idea to invest in large paint chips (18"x18") ...they are about 4 dollars each but they give you a good sense of color on a larger expanse. (if you dont want to spend on chips use a solid towel or solid tablecloth or solid showercurtain or solid fabric or even a Tshirt because color truly needs to be seen on an expanse.) ... feel free to use those little free chips but be aware those little chips can fool the eye and at worse be costly and aggravating in time and money spent... remember nowadays stores like Lowe's and even some good hardware stores offer color matching with a scanner gun and a paint "computer". all you need to do is bring in your… [cont.]

Any ideas on a good shade tree for South Florida?
Q. Trying to decide what tree to plant in front yard that will provide good shade, not have too many leaves fall, no nuts or fruits, grow stem root, not roots that would mess up the yard or maybe damage a septic system and can withstand the Florida sun and weather, or otherwise a low maintenance tree. Any ideas? Thanks.
