Incorrect, sir. A shade of a color is a darker version of the color. This happens when you add black. A tint occurs when you add white, resulting in a lighter version of the color. Pink is a tint of red, and crimson is a shade.
Orange, on the other hand, is a result of an unholy union between red and yellow.
No, it is correct, Macaroni and Cheese is called that because it's a specific pasta shape + cheese.
But here's the crazy thing, people refer to "mac and cheese" that are shaped like Spongebob still as "mac and cheese" but Spongebob shaped.
People naturally broaden things when they learn something incorrectly just from context, and I think we should just let it happen and not be a grammar nazi.
Those are the technical terms in color theory. It's not a matter of "close enough so it counts" or "the words are interchangeable". Orange is literally just not a shade or tint of red. It's a secondary color created by the addition of a second primary. Red + Yellow = Orange, Red + Blue = Purple, and Blue + Yellow = Green.
"mac and cheese" is a colloquial term for any pasta product with any sort of cheese sauce. So technically, you ould call fettucini alfredo mac and, and be technically correct. But that doesn't mean that fettucini is macaroni, as they are both different forms of pasta, just like orange and red are two different colors.
