Origin

Old English sc(e)adu, of Germanic origin. Compare with shadow.

The Old English word shade is related to shadow, both going back to the same Indo-European root. Late 16th-century shady is based on shade; colloquial use meaning ‘questionable, disreputable’ arose in the mid 19th century perhaps from university slang. The origins of shades of—, used to suggest that one thing is reminiscent of another, have nothing to do with colour, but go back to an old use of shade to mean ‘a ghost’. The idea behind the phrase is that the person or event either resembles or calls to mind someone or something from the past. By the late 19th century the meaning ‘ghost’ was more or less restricted to works of literature, so it is odd that it should have been revived in this phrase in the mid 20th century. An example from the American magazine Town & Country reflects its popularity: ‘Shades of Jackie O, the Duke and Duchess, Capote, and an era when classic French cuisine, spacious luxury, and swizzle sticks were de rigueur.’
