shade: The "shade (of a tree)" is an area which is protected from direct sunlight, for example: Cats always sit in the shade when it is very hot and sunny. A shade can also describe a small variation in a colour or quality, for example: I don't think the logo should be that shade of pink. Note that a "shadow" is the dark shape when a light shines on a person or object.

1 shade: The term "shade" is a synonym of "hue" or "tint" or "type of color". A "shade (of a color)" is a variation of a color based on how light or dark it is (the amount of white or black mixed into it). Example: I think we need to paint the bedroom a lighter shade of blue.
2 dark: When describing a "shade" of a color, we use the terms "dark" and "light" to describe the comparative darkness (or lightness). In the dialogue, Bruno describes a "dark blue circle". This means that the blue of the circle has lots of black mixed into it, making it appear dark. Another example: Bruno has beautiful DARK brown hair.
3 light: As mentioned above, the terms "light" and "dark" are placed before colors to indicate their comparative darkness. In the dialogue, Bruno could have said, "light blue circle" if the circle had more white mixed into it. We also use "light" when describing hair. Example: Icarus has lovely light gray hair.
