adobe photoshop - Do shadows of an object have a color?


In the following image, I placed the box manually. Created the shadow and reflection.


enter image description here


Now, what seems a little odd is the colors of the shadows of the box and plant pot are different. Plant pot's shadow has a saturation in it, that is it is colorful, but the box's shadow color is grey. Maybe that's why it doesn't look very realistic.


Whether it looks realistic or not, the question is: Should the shadow have also some color in it in this example? If yes, why would a shadow have a color in it, they are mean't to be black/grey?
